On August 9, 2026, the Antipolo Blessed Children Department conducted the Hope Youth Service in Antipolo City, Philippines, with 15 participants. The program began at 9:00 AM with prayer, preparation, and registration. The participants then gathered for the singing of Holy Songs, the CIG Anthem, bowing, Family Pledge, and opening prayer. 

A welcoming message and Peace TV were presented, followed by a message entitled “Being a Friend to All,” delivered by Hiroto Guingayan. His message encouraged the youth to develop genuine friendships, show kindness and understanding toward others, and become people who can build positive relationships within their community.

After the message and benediction prayer, the participants proceeded with group sharing and representative reflection. This provided an opportunity for the youth to express their thoughts, share their experiences, and reflect on the message they had received. Unlike the previous Hope Youth Service, there was no additional group activity, allowing the participants to focus on sharing, reflection, and fellowship.

The program concluded with an unison prayer, announcements, and a group picture. Overall, the Hope Youth Service provided a meaningful opportunity for the participants to worship together, reflect on the importance of friendship and kindness, and strengthen their relationships with one another. Through the message, sharing, and fellowship, the youth were encouraged to practice being a friend to all and to contribute to a more united and caring community.
