Pilipinas Natin is a volunteerism movement that thrives on the people’s continuing response to the call for change. It was launched by President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III last June 30, 2011.
PN is Bayanihan for Nation Building. Our goal is to create an enabling environment for the youth to become patriotic leaders of their community who desire to excel in their own fields to make a difference for the country, especially the poor.
The Pilipinas Natin Balangayan Camp aims to promote the Filipino brand of Leadership to open the mind and hearts of the student in nation building and to be able to partner with them in ending poverty in our country.
