What our course graduates say.

It made me realize the complexities of Good Governance and the need to allow ourselves to learn and be better everyday.

Hearing the stories of my classmates, who happened to be outstanding young people in governance, has pushed me to dream for the better and to strive harder to foster adaptive leadership in the things that I do as an SK Chairperson.

The sharing of the facilitator and resource persons, especially local case studies made me realize that planners, architects, engineers, and the other partners in city planning can actually make a difference.

Felicisimo Tejuco Jr.

Former National P.R.O. | Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners

Through PSLC, I was able to re-evaluate myself and repurpose my goals. Being in the crossroads, I learned that finding my core and knowing my strengths will best provide the direction that I need in my life, especially as a public servant. Truly, we can only offer what we have and in PLSC we were taught to improve our best asset - our selves, so we can be more for others.
