Youth in Action
for Lake Conservation

Youth Ecological Camp
Pateros, Metropolitan Manila

          The Ecological Camp for the youth of Pateros was successfully held on 26-28 August 2009 at the Villa Fernandina de Vigan (Taguig City).  The 3-day Eco-Camp was attended by twenty-eight youth from various schools of Pateros.  Three of the participants were Sangguniang Kabataan (Youth Council) leaders of Pateros. 

          The Eco-Camp was an important vehicle to enable the participants to be more aware of their important role and stake in the conservation of Laguna de Bay.  The participants were able to identify problems affecting the lake and craft solutions that they themselves will implement with the support of their schools and/or communities.

The four participating schools were -
-  Maria Concepcion Cruz High School
-  Pateros Catholic School
-  Pateros National High School
-  Saint Genevieve School of Pateros
