Wearing self-made
clothes that portray different issues during elections, Kabataan
Party-List members ramped on stage along Araneta Avenue,
Tatalon, Quezon City. |
The April 24 fashion
show featured different election-related issues that hound the May 2007
elections and the youth’s tasks to ensure clean and honest elections.
“It is a colorful,
creative, entertaining youthful kind of campaigning at the same time
educational,” said Raymond Palatino, the youth party-list group’s first
nominee.
Kabataan Party-List
is the only accredited progressive youth party-list group participating in
the 2007 elections.
With its new brand of
politics -- politics of hope, struggle and change -- Kabataan Party-List
seeks to usher in new blood into Philippine politics, away from the kind
of leadership that the traditional politicians and dynasties have for the
government.
“We need a change,”
Palatino said. “The nation needs young, vibrant and innovative minds that
will restore integrity and morality in governance and lead the nation to
genuine progress and social change.”
The Kabataan
Party-List fashion show portrayed the political repression in the country.
