The coincidence was not lost on the participants as they held their discussions on the changes needed to redefine the role young liberals should play in political affairs in the coming year. Delegates from the Young Liberals and Democrats of Asia (YLDA) joined the KALIPI last January 23-27, 2006 in Manila and Baguio City. The seminar was supported by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.

To some, this would be the Philippines under Gloriagate: political chaos mixed with economic woe and the threat of terrorism.

Beside them, their group mates are brainstorming. "Freedom of assembly," says one. "Right to vote, right to oppose, freedom to information," offers another. In other corners of the room, participants hailing from the Young Liberals and Democrats of Asia (YLDA) member organizations and observers from the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD) are similarly deep in debate or listening to somebody share a political experience from back home.
