  1. Eastern Visayas Youth Council An Orientation and Call to Action

  2. A Glimpse of the Past • In 1987, there were attempts to organize Samar-Leyte Youths in Metro Manila as a support mechanism and formation for Samar-Leyte Migrants and Internal Refugees resettled in various urban poor community, and at the same time mobilize material, financial, technical, and even personnel support to the region through the existing people’s organizations (PO’s) and non-government organizations (NGO’s) as well.

  3. In March 23, 1991, the First General Assembly of the Eastern Visayas Youth Council (EVYC) was finally launched. The Assembly had the theme: YOUTH’S UNITY AS A PREREQUISITE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Representatives of about ten (10) Samar-Leyte organizations attended and eventually became the first official members of the new students alliance.

  4. The Convenors • There is a significant number of Samar-Leyte students in various colleges and universities in Metro-Manila. In the spirit of unity and camaraderie, they have organized themselves into fraternities, sororities and socio-civic formations. Initial investigation revealed that these formations are present in about fifteen (15) colleges and universities in Metro-Manila. To mention a few: Kaurusa-Samar (UE-Recto), Waray-Waray Society (Adamson), Leysam (GAUF, MLQU, MI, CR), Magsarangkay (UE-Cal.), Samar-Leyte Society (AU), Samar Student Organization (FEU), UP Sidlangan (UP Diliman) and many others in UP-Manila, PATS and NU. These organizations eventually became the convenors and founding members of the EVYC.

  5. Activities • Among the different activities engaged into by the organization were: fund-raising through Cultural Night, Integration cum research work in some Samar-Leyte urban poor communities, joined in relief operation in Ormoc City and Mt. Pinatubo, joined fact-finding mission in Hilongos, Leyte and Northern Samar respectively, conducted radio-info drive in Tacloban City concerning EVYCO, organized sports fest, launched education and trainings, hosted exposurists from Belgium, Mexico, Italy last May l994, school hopping and fellowship gathering. It was also during this time that Maybelle Mangada and Noreen Pampanga of UP Sidlangan was sent to Belgium for solidarity network with the Aalter Youth.

  6. The New Challenge • Despite the worsening crisis affecting the majority of the families of EV, a great number of Samar-Leyte students still opt for collegiate and post-graduate studies in Metro-Manila. In the process, some became members of various Samar-Leyte organizations and many are still waiting (or better still wanting!) to be organized. Time has come then to form a broad alliance of individuals and organizations for genuine development - as students and as Waray-Waray. It is therefore imperative to foster unity among the studentry and harness their great potential for the benefits of their fellow students, for those living in the slum areas of Metro-Manila and for those in the region.

  7. Today, every Waray-Waray student (as individual or as member of an organization) is being challenged to seriously consider his/her political significance and role in the development of Eastern Visayas as future leaders and hope of the region!

  8. The Nature and Tasks of EVYC • We envision a broad Manila-based alliance of students from Samar-Leyte for socio-civic developmental concerns for Region 8 with the following tasks: • Advocacy campaign on issues affecting EV region • Organizing students in Metro-Manila • Education and training for its members • Mobilizing various form of support for the region • Conduct researches and studies (EV concerns) • Exposure/Immersion program • Establish networks and linkages (local and international) • A non-stock, non-profit organization, EVYC is registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission as of 19 March 1993 (SEC Reg No. AN093-01392)

  9. With these tasks at hand, we hope to reach out the broadest number of students in every colleges and universities in Metro-Manila and establish linkages with other Samar-Leyte student organizations, fraternities and sororities and eventually form the broadest sectoral alliance of EV students in Metro-Manila through the EASTERN VISAYAS YOUTH COUNCIL (EVYC).

  10. EVYC is a venue for sharing, caring and support system for students away from home. And henceforth, a wholesome and meaningful gathering of student-youth with clear direction in life (may prinsipyo), a vision for a humane society (may pangarap) and a mission to serve others for the interest of the common good (may pananagutan).

  21. V. People’s Position Presently, the people of Manicani and Homonhon have organized themselves into SAMAMO (Save Manicani Movement) with their Parish Priest Fr. Alex Galo as their leader. They have organized to protest the environmental destruction and the siltation of the nearby seas caused by the chromite and nickel mining operations of HMC and HRDC in their barangays.

  22. In Batag Island in Laoang N. Samar, the Provincial Government, the Municipal Local Government Unit, and the Parish of Laoang are vehemently opposed to the impending mining and operations in the area. People are calling NO to the Mining Plan of the Panapino Mining Corp.

  23. People in Northern Samar, especially in the Northeast part, are still angry and condemning the government for what happened to them in the recent past. In 1989, the long and wide Catubig River, the rice granary of the Province of Northern Samar, was inundated or flooded for a week because of the large-scale logging in the Catubig Valley for almost two decades, causing denudation to a million peso worth of crops and killing 100 people.

  24. People along the long Taft River are still protesting to what happened to their River, which was destroyed and rendered devoid of any marine life by the more than 10 years of mining operations in Bagacay, Hinabangan, Samar. The rampaging flood in Panaon Island inundating the towns of San Ricardo, San Francisco and Pintuyan, caused by long years of logging in the area

  25. The 1991 Ormoc tragedy that many of us can not forget, for it killed thousands of people as it destroyed many homes and properties because of the large-scale logging in the Ormoc-Albuera area and the conversion of the nearby lands into sugarcane plantations. These have made them vigilant to whatever machinations mining and logging companies have in the immediate future vis-à-vis their homeland. These and a lot more in other parts of Samar, Leyte and Biliran are living testimonies to the evil of mining, quarrying and logging and the subtle stealing of their natural wealth and patrimony

  26. Kinahanglan na kita komo mga estudyante ug mga taga Sinirangan Bisayas na aanhi ha Metro Manila bumaton ha mga isyu nga ginaatubang han aton rehiyon. Sanglit, dako it panginahanglan na magkaurusa kita ha usa nga hiluag nga katig-oban nga magseserbe nga boses han rehiyon ngan magpapabagting han lingganay han tinuod nga kamutangan.
