TIWI, Albay ­­— The first-ever Barangay Scouting Movement in the Philippines, Ticket to Life – Coro-Coro Scouting Unit celebrates its first founding anniversary with the theme “Barangay Scouting: Transcending Boundaries, Empowering Communities.”

Jubille Marlourd D. Lucena, Founder of Ticket to Life – Coro-Coro Scouting Unit (TTLCCSU) planned and signed a resolution on March 5, 2021, with the Sangguniang Kabataan Coro-Coro to organize a Scouting Unit in the barangay.

21 years na akong naninirahan dito sa Coro-Coro, at ang buhay ng mga tao ay paulit-ulit na hindi umuunlad at sa paraan ng organisasyon na ito, naniniwala ako na babago ang takbo ng buhay ng mga nakatira dito sa Coro-Coro dahil kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan,” Lucena said.

The anniversary celebration kicked off with messages from the Scouters of the Unit, followed by the awarding of the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of Coro-Coro and special awards with Atty. Je Clerigo, who handles the case of the late Scout Jaderey Colarina.

“This year was a blast even if there are hardships and challenges that we face, but we remain still and dedicated. Here in Coro-Coro scouting unit, you were able to build skills and serve as a role model to all teens in the community.” Scouter Kenneth Peñaflor tells the Scouts.

The Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of Coro-Coro, in no particular order:

  • Scout Shanley V. Canon
  • Scout Krystel SA. Cordente
  • Scout Justine Crucillo
  • Scout Arlene C. Espares
  • Scout Katreena Mae D. Lucena
  • Scout Siena Joy C. Mangaoang
  • Scout Tristan Jay C.Natividad
  • Scout Jasper N. Orlina
  • Scout Justine C. San Antonio
  • Scout Jennalyn P. Vargas

The celebration was dedicated not only to the first year of the organization but also to the commemoration of the late Scout Jaderey Colarina who passed away last July 2021.
