Also, the youth committee members were the first ones to have aduty in the Municipal health center for the weekly prenatal check-up.

of the Youth Committee. Due to various preparations for the Vaklushi 09, thecommittee was only able to do the blood pressure taking once. The rest of theweek was dedicated for fixing matters regarding the said pageant. The

members of the committee encountered various challenges with regard to thestage that will be used. They were faced with the dilemma of whether to holdthe Vaklushi pageant in front of the barangay hall or in the town plaza. Thecontestants plan of backing out augmented the said dilemma. Also, thecommittee was faced with the issue of who-has-the-right-on-the-stage thingwith the teachers of the Polytechnic University for these educators claim thecustody for the stage.
