The youth is the hope of the nations as Dr. Jose Rizal claimed. The youth, when considered as a whole, may also be recognized as one of the world's true golden gems, particularly because they are among the reliable and long-term contributors who help communities grow. Their young minds are very significant in the improvement of the nation, most of the innovations that turned successful mostly came from the fresh minds of the youth. We need to see the perception of the youth because they have also their own perception of how the nation should be. The youth's primary role is to maintain, renew, and restore.
The existing state of our society, including its leadership, inventions, and abilities has to be renewed and updated. So as early as this time, we need to protect the youth from losing them and wasting their abilities. The Philippine National Police (PNP) created awareness in the community of the importance of the youth in society, in addition, PNP discouraged the abuses inflicted on the future of the nation.
The Police Community Relation section, spreading and promotes the Republic act No 7610 also known as the "Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act." the Digos City Police Station (DCPS) should take precautionary measures as early as now because we cannot afford to wait the time when our youth already lost of their track. Youth is one of the vulnerable groups that can be easily influenced and involved in criminal activities. The youth was also the main target of the communist group to recruit on their group and influenced by their beliefs and desire to throw the government to have a new nation with their own rules and beliefs.
If we think that giving flyers and disseminating of awareness of child protection is just a small gesture that doesn’t affect the future of the youth, then we were wrong. If we take precautionary measures as early as now, we can avoid the possible disaster that our youth might encounter in the future. It is better to prevent things than to fix things. As what Nelson Mandela says" The youth is our treasure"(1) by doing these small things we are protecting them from dangers, we need to treasure their worth because as time passes by these children will soon become the future leaders of our nation.
