After 5 years in existence, the International Youth Council finally made its presence land in the Philippines, IYC's first chapter in the Southeast Asia.

IYC in the Philippines is known as the Pandaigdigang Sangguniang Kabataan or simply IYC Pilipinas. The movement started with different youth leaders coming from youth organizations who believed that young Filipinos should be given the opportunity to be given a voice and representation to the United Nations General Assembly.
