The Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), through its Project Sibika, will launch the #ForYouPilipinas2022 (FYP2022) Essay Writing Contest on April 1, 2022, with the theme: “Courage of the Youth.” The Contest will commemorate Araw ng Kagitingan and is designed to encourage a spirit of bravery among the youth.
For the #FYP2022, Sibika aims to instill the values of bravery, justice,
cooperation, and the bayanihan spirit among the youth as front liners in the modern
battle against misinformation, disinformation, cyber-bullying, and cancel-culture.
Accordingly, the writing prompt for the Essay Writing Contest to be given to the
participants will be: “How should the Youth constructively confront issues they face
online?”
The #FYP2022 is open to all Senior High School students (Grades 11 and 12),
including those that have recently graduated this year and are incoming college
students.
Only one entry is allowed from each participant, and the essay should not go
beyond 500 words. The participant is free to use either the Filipino or English
language. Entries may be submitted via Google Forms through this link:
