DepEd to host 3 national youth events in Ilocos
THE Department of Education ( DepEd) is gearing up for the conduct of three of its biggest flagship National Youth events this May at the hometown of President Ferdinand ” Bongbong” Marcos Jr, in Ilocos region.
The events to be conducted are the National Schools Press Conference (NSPC), the National Festival of Talents (NFOT), and the Palarong Pambansa.
These programs highlight youth excellence in journalism, the creative industries, and athletics, aligned with the President’s vision of empowering the youth to lead, create, and inspire.
“These are platforms that empower our youth and help prepare them for a rapidly changing world,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.
“Bringing these national gatherings to Ilocandia reflects our belief in regional inclusivity and shows how communities like Ilocos are key partners in building a future-ready education system.”
DepEd will hold the 2025 NSPC and NFOT in Ilocos Sur from May 19 to 23, 2025.
From May 24 to 31, 2025, the provincial government of Ilocos Norte, together with DepEd Region I, and the Schools Division Office of Ilocos Norte, will serve as the host of the 65th Palarong Pambansa, with the theme “Nagkakaisang Kapuluan.”
