Last August 11, during the celebration of Sirak Day and Samar Day, the SIRAK Kabataan Organization brought together the youth in a celebration of talent, leadership, and pride in being Samarnon. One of the most meaningful moments was the recognition of Mr. Justine Babon Mabini, Mister Teen Philippines 2026 – Ambassador of Youth Visayas, by the Provincial Government of Samar, honoring his outstanding achievement and the pride he has brought to our province. On the same occasion, Mr. Jude Paraiso Camposano, Mister Metropolitan Philippines 2026 – Samar Province, was formally endorsed and introduced to the public as our official candidate, ready to carry the name of Samar to the national stage.
As the Provincial Director for Male Pageantry, Engr. Ervin Aves “Mommy Ervs” Mabangue, I am deeply honored and grateful to fully support these two young kings as they pursue their respective journeys. My heartfelt thanks to Governor Sharee Ann Tan for her unwavering support for the youth, Mr. Jhunlie Escala, Provincial Youth Development Officer, for continuously empowering young Samarnons, Hon. Bembot Bermejo for authoring the resolution recognizing Justine’s achievement, and the Sirak Kabataan Organization for providing a meaningful platform where the youth can be celebrated and inspired. Two kings, one proud Samar carrying not only crowns and titles, but the dreams, hopes and pride of our province.
One People, One Samar
