The Centrist Democratic Youth Association of the Philippines (CDYAP) is a centrist democratic youth political association closely linked with the Centrist Democratic Party of the Philippines. It believes in the core values of Human Dignity, Empowerment, Socio-Political Maturity and Integrity.[citation needed] It also believes in non-obstructive political engagement and participation of young people and seeks to dismantle the politics of apathy amongst the youth.[citation needed]
The CDYAP was established in three different regions from July to August 2012 in the National Capital Region, Cebu and Davao. From those established regions, regional officers were elected.
After setting up the first three regional assemblies, on September 8, 2012, the National Founding Council of the CDYAP was established under the leadership of former Gilbert Teodoro Spokesperson Aaron Benedict De Leon as its National Chairperson and Cristita Marie Giangan as Secretary-General. The composition of the National Founding Council were representatives from Manila, Cebu, Davao and Northern Mindanao.[citation needed]
