Wanted: Young Liberal Writers to Write for Freedom

The time has come for young Asian liberals to establish their own liberal identity. The Young Liberals and Democrats of Asia shall spearhead the search for a common Asian liberal identity with the launching of its latest project: the YLDA Liberalism Institute. Unanimously approved during the YLDA General Assembly last November in Jakarta, Indonesia, everyone at the organization is excited to see the fruition of this endeavor.

YLDA President Rajendra Mulmi of Nepal sees the Liberalism Institute to “help refine – and define- the search for a coherent Asian liberal thought and platform of action by young liberals in the region.” Coming from the Philippines, YLDA Secretary General Jan Argy Tolentino explained, “as a citizen of the country recognized as the first cradle of liberalism in Asia, Filipino young liberals are excited to see the fruition of this dream.”
