The Duterte Youth, officially the Duty to Energize the Republic through the Enlightenment of the Youth Sectoral Party-list Organization,[2] is a Right-wing[3] youth organization which supports the administration of 16th Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. They also campaigned to win a seat in the House of Representatives through party-list representation in the 2019 elections where they secured a single seat. However the group was subject of a controversy due to its nominees including Ronald Cardema not being part of the youth sector themselves.
It is led by Ronald Cardema who is the group's chairman.[4] Cardema is also the chairman of the Kabataan for Bongbong Movement, a youth organization supporting Bongbong Marcos.[5]
On October 13, 2020, in a vote of 4–1, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has granted the nominee of Duterte Youth partylist, Ducielle Marie Suarez-Cardema, a certificate of proclamation in relation to the 2019 midterm polls.[6]
The group, due to its chosen name, has been likened to the Hitler Youth of the Nazi Party.[7]
