Buhay Youth
Buhay Party List has integrated pro-life youth advocates into their fold. Young people who are part of the Buhay Youth Program are involved in community change by organizing events that bring together other young people and inspire them to do inspiring things.
The Buhay Youth are encouraged and empowered to inform the public about good values and inspiring stories through various media they use such as blogs and social media. They are also involved in various awareness programs and promote dialogue and interaction with those who are fighting for better education and youth programs in the Philippines, as well as across the United States.
Maureen Wroblewitz is the Buhay Youth Ambassador. Wroblewitz, a Filipino-German actress, beauty queen, and model best known for winning the fifth season of Asia’s Next Top Model, is this year’s Buhay Youth and Mr. & Ms. Philippine Youth Ambassador 2021. She was the first Filipina to win the competition and represent her country. And she’s the first runner-up for Miss Universe 2021. Companies such as Asus and Palmolive both use her as their spokesperson. The ICanServe Foundation, which aids cancer survivors, also counts her as one of its ambassadors.
The support by these key Catholic lay organizations and civic groups is in line with Buhay’s advocacies on acknowledging the sanctity and value of human life as the most fundamental element of society and recognizes the rights of individuals disadvantaged by age, sickness and disability. It believes that every child has the right to be born, the right to live. Therefore, the party-list professes to protect and support the unborn, the sick, the disabled and others not capable of protecting themselves alone, through observance of their basic right to live in the Philippines.
These advocacies are summarized as “Maka-Diyos. Maka-Pamilya. Maka-Tao. Maka-Pilipino.” The three nominees of Buhay Party List for the 2022 elections are: Von Valdepeñas, Mark Brian Paz and Xavy Padilla.
