PHP118 billion lost to corruption is more than a statistic—it is stolen classrooms, delayed hospitals, and a future taken from the youth, who remain excluded from decisions shaping the nation. As technology transforms governance and public discourse, ethical and inclusive digital leadership becomes urgent. Aguhon V responds as a timely youth leadership summit, championing digital governance and meaningful youth participation today.
Founded as a youth-led initiative, Aguhon was built to cultivate moral, service-oriented leaders who uphold accountability and good governance. Since its inception, it has provided a platform where student leaders, youth advocates, and government officials engage in meaningful dialogue—bridging leadership theory with real-world social challenges. As governance increasingly shifts toward digital platforms, Aguhon V advances this mission by confronting the evolving demands of leadership in a digitally connected world.
From its humble beginnings, Aguhon was designed to bridge gaps in youth leadership development—particularly the need to prepare young leaders for the complexities of governance. Building on this foundation, Aguhon V responds to the realities of digital governance, where civic engagement, transparency, and accountability increasingly unfold online. It aims to shape leaders who are not only technologically capable, but also grounded in ethical judgment, social responsibility, and a sincere commitment to public service.
What sets Aguhon V apart is its fusion of leadership and technology. The summit explores how digital platforms, data systems, and media shape governance and civic trust, while interactive workshops equip participants to turn insights into action. It tackles pressing challenges like disinformation, declining civic trust, and low youth participation, promoting responsible engagement and informed leadership. Beyond skills and discussions, Aguhon V reinforces core values of integrity, transparency, inclusivity, innovation, and service, guiding participants to use technology to strengthen democracy, accountability, and meaningful impact in their communities.
Scheduled in February 2026, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Aguhon V will feature a dynamic program flow composed of plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and breakout circles designed to encourage dialogue and collaboration. Participants will engage with key speakers, notable guests, and partner organizations whose work reflects leadership excellence and ethical digital engagement. With Gadgets Magazine as its official media partner, Aguhon V underscores its relevance to discussions on technology, innovation, and governance. This partnership highlights the power of digital media to amplify youth voices and shape public discourse—creating spaces where ideas gain momentum, dialogue sparks action, and the next generation of leaders can make their mark.
As Aguhon V approaches, it calls on the youth to recognize their role as catalysts of transformation. Anchored on the belief that “The Tides of Change Begins With Us,” the summit invites young leaders to take ownership of the present and actively shape a future where leadership, technology, and good governance move forward together.
