The Miss Teen Buhi Organization has for sometime been holding conferences and gatherings for youth in the Municipality of Buhi. This is part of the Miss Teen Buhi Beauty Pageant wherein one of the objectives is bringing to light the conscious effort of promoting clean and healthy environment of the municipality. They were not only meant for business meetings but were likewise opportunities for follow up formation and skills training to further stabilize and professionalize the Buhinon youth. The response is great and the enthusiastic participation of the youth in all endeavors by, for and with the youth could attest to that, but the need to sustain and maintain the fire in them remains a challenge to reckon with.
It hopes to tackle issues and concerns that seriously affect our global community and environment as well caused by the so called “global warming”.
