The National Movement of Young Legislators (NMYL), is a group of elected local lawmakers in the Philippines who are aged 40 years or younger. The local lawmakers are elected officials who hold positions such as municipal/city councilor, municipal/city vice mayor, provincial board member, and provincial vice governor.
NMYL was formed by the Presidential Council for Youth Affairs (PCYA) under President Corazon C. Aquino as part of her administration's youth development agenda. Elected NMYL's founding president was Senator Francis Pangilinan[1] in 1989, when he was still a councilor of Quezon City, Philippines. He saw the need to unite and develop young legislators to develop committed, strong, and principled leaders among youth legislators.
