DECENT JOB AND WAGES
The Philippine labor force is composed, for the most part, of young Filipinos.
Therefore, the agenda of Filipino workers is the agenda of the Filipino Youth.

RIGHTS AND WELFARE OF THE MARGINALIZED SECTOR
Corollary to the call for better living conditions for each and every Filipino is the fight for the rights and welfare of all marginalized sectors of society, including women, national minorities, the LGBT community, and Overseas Filipino Workers.

GENUINE AGRARIAN REFORM
We recognize the large role played by the peasant sector in Philippine society.
This is the primary reason why genuine agrarian reform is part and parcel of the People’s Agenda pushed by the Filipino youth.

EDUCATION
Recognizing the vital role of Education in nation-building, the Filipino youth primarily calls for the institution of free public education at levels.
No Filipino student should be deprived of education due to spiraling costs of matriculation and other school fees, which is brought about by the intensifying deregulation of education.

NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND PATRIMONY
As the conflict surrounding the West Philippine Sea intensifies, the Filipino youth also seeks to galvanize the nation to fight against Chinese aggression and growing US military intervention.

PEACE
The pursuit of just and lasting peace is of primordial importance.
The Filipino youth recognizes the fact that peace can only be attained once the root causes of armed revolutions in the country are addressed.
