UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (NatCom) accredited 5 UNYAP Chapters as UNESCO Clubs in a ceremony held last December 15, 2010 at the Summit Lounge, Department of Foreign Affairs. UNESCO Clubs are groups of people of all ages, from all walks of life, who share the UNESCO ideal, seek to disseminate it and associate themselves with the work of the international Organization by undertaking activities directly inspired by those of UNESCO. Although the Clubs may assume many different forms, they all have something in common: a firm belief in UNESCO’s ideals as set forth in its Constitution and a commitment to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
There were five (5) UNYAP Clubs accredited by NatCom out of nine (9) organizations. These include UNYAP DLSU Dasma, PESCAYDO of Aurora, CARAGA Youth Leaders Network of Butuan, Philippine Normal University-UNESCO Club and University of Northern Philippines in Vigan.
Mr. Sherwin Taay, UNYAP President of Central Luzon based in Baler, Aurora was selected as President of the newly form organization - Philippine Federation of UNESCO Clubs, Centers and Association (PFUCCA). Other elected UNYAP Officers were Ms. Laila Monera as PFUCCA VP-Internal and Ms. Grace Ganotice as Secretary General.
