³ The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual,
intellectual and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism; and encourage their involvement in public
and civic affairs. ´
- 1987 Philippine Constitution
The National Youth Commission was established by virtue of Republic Act 8044, or the Youth in Nation-Building Act, which was
enacted in 1995. This bill provided for the creation of a National Comprehensive and Coordinated Program on Youth Development.
The NYC operationalized this provision through the creation of a Medium-Term Youth Development Plan (MTYDP) 1999-2004, of
which all youth programs and projects implemented by all government agencies are strategically evaluated and monitored for their
specific role in involving and enabling the youth as able partners towards national development.
The NYC provides the youth with opportunities to be an active partner in nation-building through youth programs and projects that
will develop and harness their potentials and enable them to be of great service to their country and community.
The creation of new policies and advocacies for youth development also allows the NYC to push for reforms and the creation of new
measures to implement better services for the youth and the communities.
NYC Vision
Moving force in Filipino youth development
NYC Mission

Through the nationwide registration of youth and youth serving organizations, the Commission links up with the youth and facilitates
a more active participation in its programs.
Enrolled in the Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan (KALAHI) program of the administration, it is NYC¶s contribution to the poverty
alleviation program of the government. NYC arranges for other government agencies and private companies to hire out-of-school,
unemployed youth as interns who receive a monthly stipend that is 75% of the minimum wage.
It aims to advance the promotion of peace, racial and cultural tolerance, respect for the environment, rights of children, youth, women
and the indigenous peoples.
