It was a learning experience for the students as they attended and observed the weekly meeting sessions of the Silay City Mayor and the City Councilors. They witnessed how resolutions and plannings were being deliberated. They were also tasked to make their own resolutions and plannings for the youth of Silay City.
A closing ceremony was held Friday, November 20, at the Silay Civic Center, with each participant receiving a Certificate of Participation.
Then the students attended the final evaluation of the 2015 Girls and Boys Week at Patag Eco-Tourism Center in Barangay Patag, Silay City over the week-end.

"It was a nice experience because we had the chance to know the work of government officials. It was also exciting because we saw how the officials argued among each other on the resolutions being presented." by Marlyn Bernasol
"I learned a lot. I witnessed how much paper work there is and it's very hard. The staff were very friendly and I felt very welcomed." by Danilo Villanueva, Jr.
"I learned that being a government official is not easy. You need to make decisions on how to make a city work." by Kreizel Ann Tiongson
"I learned that a good leader must be honest and is responsible for the community. It is not easy to make resolutions and one should not keep in mind the negative feedback which others may say." by Oliver Boiser
