U-Report Philippines 2025 Wrapped
A Year of Youth Voices and Action
2025 was a year of young people stepping up, speaking out, and leading change in their communities. From nationwide polls to local outreach, content co-creation, and youth events across the country, U-Reporters helped shape conversations that matter.
Here’s a look back at everything we achieved together.
1. Reaching the most vulnerable: U-Reporters lead community outreach for children and youth
This year, young people led the work and reached those who needed it most.
Across the Philippines, U-Reporters brought safe-space sessions, learning activities, and child protection conversations directly to communities, including children who may have limited access to youth-focused programs.
These efforts demonstrated the power of youth volunteerism: not only reaching youth leaders capable of driving change, but also ensuring that even the youngest and most vulnerable voices are heard, included, and supported.
2. Informing change through polls & consultations
Youth opinions shaped discussions this year through nationwide U-Report polls and consultations.
These polls and consultations reminded everyone: young people are experts of their own lives, and their voices matter.
3. Creating with, not for: Content co-creation with U-Reporters
This year, storytelling and content co-creation became more youth-led than ever. On International Youth Day, U-Report volunteers collaborated with Creators #ForEveryChild to produce advocacy content, while U-Reporters in Iligan, Rizal, BARMM, and other parts of the country also shared stories on mental health and youth participation.
This year, in addition to co-creating stories and advocacy content, U-Report Philippines launched digital tools to support youth well-being and environmental action with the Mental Health and Climate Chatbots that provide accessible, youth-friendly guidance and information.
4. Showing up where youth are: U-Reporters in youth spaces
U-Reporters participated in youth events across the Philippines, not just through booths, but by engaging in conversations, leading volunteer activities, and facilitating open discussions with young people, advocating for issues such as climate action and youth participation.
In every space, U-Reporters encouraged others to share their views, join the platform, and take part in shaping decisions that impact their lives.
A Year Powered by Volunteers
U-Report’s work in 2025 was made possible by volunteers who gave their time, skills, and energy to create spaces where young people feel heard and supported. From large summits to small community sessions, youth leadership powered every milestone.
What’s Next for 2026
Looking ahead to 2026, the journey goes on for U-Report Philippines: expanding children and youth participation, strengthening community outreach, and creating more spaces where children and young people can safely raise their voices.
