After registering with NYC's Youth Organization Registration Program (YORP), TYPCY secured a seat in the Municipal Youth Development Council (MYDC) of Gamay, with Pelembergo as the representative. His leadership in TYPCY and active engagement in MYDC caught the attention of department heads and municipal officials of LGU Gamay.
