A wonder of General Santos City Nation Secondary School of Arts and Trades, there is a dedicated adviser for six years, who has turned his life experiences into a mission: to ensure that no Filipino youth has to navigate the same hardships he once endured.
Every word he speaks is rooted in resilience and truth. From communities struggling with inequality to schools where young people grapple with limited opportunities, Lomocho’s voice serves as guidance and protection. It encourages youth to see that their future can surpass their past.
His message reflects a core Filipino value—respect for personal dignity and equality—reminding young people that every voice matters. In a society where hierarchy and age can sometimes overshadow youth perspectives, Lomocho insists that knowledge of one’s rights is a shield, and that empowerment begins with awareness.
Lomocho advocates for understanding and defending rights not only for oneself but for the generations to come. Being informed, he says, builds resilience, courage, and the ability to challenge unfairness. By valuing their rights, Filipino youth can also help others claim theirs, creating a culture of shared responsibility and fairness.
His advocacy aligns closely with SDG 5—Gender Equality By encouraging every young Filipino, regardless of gender, to know their rights and assert their voice, Lomocho challenges social norms and systemic biases that can limit opportunity. He envisions a Philippines where everyone can fully participate, make choices freely, and shape their own future.
Through his work, he demonstrates that one voice, grounded in truth and compassion, can ripple through communities, empowering Filipino youth to stand tall, speak out, and redefine their paths,James B. Lomocho.
