In our network, we define non-traditional media in the way that we always focus on the positive things and leave the negative; unlike what you may observe in the traditional media. Most, if not all, are tired seeing and hearing the same bad news about corruption in government, crimes in the society, economic fluctuations, bickerings of celebrities, political parties, people rallying, network wars, and the likes.
Those kind of news fill our everyday lives and leave behind the good things many young people are still doing for the community and the country. In our program on radio and the internet, we feature a lot of volunteers and volunteer youth organizations who, if not little, does not find any opportunities to be recognized in the traditional media.

I should be thanking Ma'am Borican, my DevJourn professor, who required us to come up with a writing about MDGs on my last semester in PUP MassCom. When I surfed the net, particularly the MDG web, I came across the link of the Voice of the Youth Network. I got the contacts, and since it was a co-globe subscriber (Wow! Unli, itextmate ko kaya? Haha!), I right away sent a text of inquiry.
I can't remember the exact details, but after some few text messages and a number of conversations over the YM for consecutive weeks, I finally decided to see the VOTY people. I felt the strong urge to see them, though I was totally oblivious of the reason then.
Being a volunteer was so new in my system. Of course, I already joined a number of outreach programs, but in all honesty, I never felt that I am a part of them.[ READ FULL STORY ]

Ang maliit na proyektong ito ay naglalayong magbigay ng alternatibong pagmulat sa mga kabataan sa panitikan, kultura at kasalukuyang kalagayan ng bayan. Ito rin ang tunog na naririnig ko tuwing binabatukan ako ni bebang. [LEARN MORE]

"VOTY helps build a strong partnership as we strive to attain the highest levels of service for unity and our people "
Pamela Ponce De Leon, UN Philippines Awardee (2004) on Anti-Drug Advocacy
"VOTY is an organization that’s for me is near perfection. This is an organization that caters to all. It is not exclusive, meaning it doesn’t make room for any barriers be it socio-cultural, political or religious barriers. Its aims are so noble and not consumed by self interests. That’s why it will never lead to fragmentations as well as isolation as what happened to other youth organizations that supposedly are founded on noble vision. VOTY’s brilliance to inform, inspire and involve the youth can be attested by the international community that’s why it garnered numerous awards both locally and internationally. In VOTY, you will meet people from all sectors of society and all of you are comfortable with one another because VOTY is non-traditional, meaning, it doesn’t give the sense of having bosses to unleash terror on you. VOTY fuels the youth with self-esteem and allows for initiatives to settle in because the playing field is leveled through opportunity equity"
