Muntinlupa celebrates Responsible-18

The City of Muntinlupa began its two-day celebration of Responsible-18 or R-18 Month last February 24 at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex. This is in accordance with City Ordinance No. 19-038, which designates the month of February as a time to celebrate Muntinlupeños who have reached the age of emancipation or 18 years old.

The local government of Muntinlupa, through the Youth Affairs and Sports Development Office (YASDO), has prepared programs to emphasize to 18-year-olds that they are now part of the adult community and can contribute to the development of the city.

Today's activities included an Adulting 101 Seminar, Dance and Singing Competition, and other programs for around 2005 participants.
