NMYL is non-partisan party of all local legislators where its objective is to create a new form of politics, transparency, good governance and anti-corruption.
“In other words, what we are pushing in NMYL is for reform that will provide a venue for ideals to flourish,” said Loreto.
Among its members are board members, municipal and city councilors, barangay chairmen and its council members and the Sangguniang Kabataan.
Although NMYL is not just for young legislators, most of its members are young because they are more idealistic and more open to changes.
“This because NMYL was also created as the breeding ground for new politics and renewed ground for politicians which centers on politics of performance and ideals,” Loreto explained.
Loreto added that during his speech he stressed that everyone who enters politics has the good intension.
“We want to get elected into office because we want to serve people with ’political will’,” Loreto said.
This political will must depend on to do what is right and stand against the many influences that will pull politicians into many different directions while they are serving public office.
He added having political will means that they must “do the right things” which means “being of service” and “being of help” anytime.
“This is the best thing that we politicians can do to make and help our country push forward,” he stressed. (Roel Amazona)
