In November 29-30, 2008, youth leaders and animators of both FIN and FIS provinces held a National Assembly in Don Bosco Makati to assess the 20 years of the Salesian Youth Movement, to own the revised SYM Primer, to take on the new challenges of the SYM,   to elect the National Coordinating Team and to celebrate in prayer and in camaraderie. The youth groups Biblos and Friends of Laura Vicuna were duly recognized as an association of the movement existing in both North and South Provinces.
