TWO student leaders from Silliman University bagged awards at the 10th Asian Youth Leaders Travel and Learning Camp held in Singapore last month.

SU Student Government President John Christian Entrata and House Speaker Enrica Marian Dinopol claimed the Best Presentation Content and Outstanding Presentation title.

Entrata’s presentation was about environmentalism among the youth while Dinopol’s work was about youth participation in nation-building.

Dinopol was also named Outstanding Youth Leader.

Entrata, a fourth year Bachelor of Science in Foreign Affairs student, and Dinopol, a second-year BS Business Administration Major in Business Economics student, represented SU and the Philippines in the camp.

“Enrica and I felt a huge responsibility in representing Silliman University in the camp. However, we realized that SU and our years in the Student Government have equipped us with the skill set to be able to go to the global scene and represent our alma mater well,” Entrata said.

“It was an opportune time to build lasting networks and our experience as student leaders in our University was really able to help us to be confident and sincere with our intentions from the camp,” he added.

The camp was attended by over 200 delegates from countries across Asia.

Other delegates from the Philippines were from Enderun Colleges, Mapúa University, University of the Philippines Diliman, UP Visayas, Ateneo de Davao University and De La Salle University.

Established in 2012, the AYLTLC is an annual gathering of youth leaders across the globe. It aims to train student leaders through activities on cross-cultural interaction and cooperation.
