The Web Rangers Program is an initiative of Google in cooperation with the National Youth Commission and DM9JaymeSyfu. The program aims to make the internet a safer environment for teenagers.

Grade 10 students Sam Agaran, Gian Garcia, Janella Francisco, Caitlin Norona, and Trisa de Ocampo were five of the 61 chosen participants from a pool of around 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 21 who registered for the program.

A workshop was held at Top Shelf in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig last July 18, 2015. There were several guest speakers who shared their knowledge on the internet, digital skills, and advertising. The growing issue of cyber bullying was tackled as well.

After the workshop, the participants were divided into 13 groups of four to five members. Each group was tasked to create an original and creative campaign against cyber bullying.

The awarding rites took place yesterday, August 20 at Kidzville, Podium Mall, Ortigas. / Trisa de Ocampo
