Meet Jesse
39 young public servants finish 6th Young Leaders for Good Governance Fellowship Program

On April 18, 2026, the Jesse M. Robredo Foundation, through the Young Leaders for Good Governance 6 (YLGG) Fellowship Program, proudly marked a significant milestone as the YLGG Batch 6 fellows gathered for their Commencement Ceremony: Leadership in Action: Carrying Change Forward, held at Villa Caceres, Naga City.

The ceremony celebrated not only the completion of the fellowship journey but, more importantly, the transformation of each fellow—from emerging leader to changemaker, equipped with the skills, values, and mindset to drive meaningful reforms in their communities. Through a solemn and inspiring program, fellows were reminded of the responsibility that comes with leadership, anchored on integrity, accountability, and service.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our partners, speakers, mentors, and the entire YLGG community for nurturing this new generation of leaders. To our YLGG6 fellows, your dedication, courage, and passion for public service embody the legacy of Secretary Jesse M. Robredo.

As you step forward, may you continue to lead with purpose and conviction—turning vision into action, and action into lasting impact: matino, mahusay, at may puso.
