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: βCourage of the Youth.β 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: βHow should the Youth constructively confront issues they face
online?β
