The document discusses the state of Filipino youth based on a report called PinoyYouth.Now. It provides demographic data showing that a significant portion of the youth population lives in poverty. It also examines the social environment, views, knowledge and behaviors of Filipino youth, finding that many engage in risky sexual and non-sexual behaviors like premarital sex, unprotected sex, smoking, and drug use. However, many drop out of these risky behaviors over time. It calls for rethinking and enriching youth development programs to address the issues, and ensuring youth voices are heard in related efforts.
