DAET, Camarines Norte, August 29 (PIA) --Student leaders from the tertiary schools in this town joined the launching of the “Kaya Natin Youth Movement” sponsored by the local government unit of Daet held Monday (August 26) at the Heritage Center here.

The activity was also highlighted with the photo-essay competition: A Tribute to Everyday Filipino Heroes with the theme “We need to make heroes of ourselves” in celebration of the National Heroes Day.

Mayor Tito Sarion, one of Kaya Natin Champions, said that the celebration of the National Heroes Day was significant because there are moves to remove the pork barrel or funds for the programs and projects which are being given and taking care of the elected officials of the government.

Sarion said that the presence of the student leaders in the launching made them aware on the advocacy of the "Kaya Natin Movement" for good governance and ethical leadership.
