Guiding the Next Generation: My Mentoring Session with Young Agri-Preneurs

This past week, I had the privilege of stepping into a mentor role for an incredible group of young visionaries.

The Young Farmers Challenge Regional Project Management Team successfully conducted a Coaching and Mentoring Session for the National Finalists on February 17–18, 2026, right here in Pagadian City. These bright minds are gearing up to represent our region in the upcoming National Competition, and my job was to help them get there.

Over those two productive days, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. Watching these young agri-entrepreneurs refine their presentations and strengthen their business concepts was truly inspiring. My goal was simply to empower them—to boost their confidence so they can step onto that national stage and shine. 

Seeing their passion for agriculture and innovation gives me so much hope for the future. Together, we aren't just prepping for a competition; we are cultivating excellence, leadership, and a new generation of farming heroes.

On to the Nationals!
