Following the send-off, the spotlight shifted to the introduction and welcoming of the new set of officers of the SK Federation of La Union, with Hon. Harold Dave E. Sibuma of Aringay, La Union assuming the mantle of SK leadership in the province. The young leaders took their responsibilities, pledging to uphold the principles of service, accountability, and empowerment of the youth in the community.

He pledged to give his utmost commitment to fulfill his duties as a Board Member of the Province of La Union. Additionally, he extended his appreciation to all the newly elected SK Presidents of the LGUs within the province.
