Cebu Province youth to train as servant leaders

A thousand public high school students from more than 100 schools in Cebu province will undergo a leadership program where they would be trained before the year ends on how to be good servant leaders of the country. 

The students would go through a Servant Leadership Program designed by the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc – Kool Adventure Camp and are expected to create change in their schools and communities.
A public high school student who joined the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc – Kool Adventure Camp Servant Leadership Program writes down her personal improvement plan as a servant leader.
The program aims to promote the principles of servant leadership through an adventure program, establish a common behaviour and personal improvement plan for the students to better execute their roles and responsibilities as young leaders. 


“The debriefing process after each activity during the program was really helpful because it gave me the opportunity to discover what was wrong and what I must do. It also helped me identify my strengths and improve it even more,” shared Wryppner Wolter Wurbey Timbal, one of the participants.  

The program would teach the students the 10 principles of servant leadership:  listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and building a community.

The students who either already underwent the program or are set to experience the program are from 30 cities and municipalities of Cebu, namely: Alcoy, Alegria, Aloguinsan, Argao, Asturias, Badian, Balamban, Bantayan, Barili, Boljoon, Camotes, Consolacion, Cordova, Daanbantayan, Dalaguete, Dumanjug, Ginatilan, Madridejos, Malabuyoc, Medellin, Minglanilla, Moalboal, Oslob, Pinamungajan, Ronda, Samboan, Santander, Sibonga, Tuburan, San Fernando. 

The first 200 student leaders have completed the training last June and first week of July. The next sessions so all 1,000 students will be able to finish the program will be conducted in the next five months, or until December,2015. 

KAC has been offering adventure education programs for leadership and team development for youth and professionals for the last decade. It is a program under the Leadership and Citizenship focus area of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI). It has recently opened the Philippines’ first fully dedicated adventure education center last August 2.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau
