Heri Herawan, Deputy for\nAdministration at the MPR RI Secretary General\u2019s Office, officially\nopened the MPR RI\u2019s Banten Provincial LKBB-PB 2026 event at Tangerang\nSelatan City Hall Square in Banten on Saturday. The event, organised by\nMPR RI in collaboration with Purna Paskibraka Indonesia (PPI), involved\n10 senior high schools and equivalent institutions from across Banten\nProvince\u2019s regencies and cities. \u201cLKBB-PB is not merely a competition\nbut a platform to instil national values in the younger generation,\u201d\nsaid Heri Herawan. He explained the competition serves as\ncharacter-building through drill and flag-raising skills assessed by a\npanel of judges from the military and PPI. The participating schools\nwere SMKN 9 Tangerang City, MAN 1 Lebak Regency, SMAN 1 Jawilan Serang\nRegency, MAN 1 Cilegon City, SMAN 2 Krakatau Steel Cilegon City, SMAN 2\nSerang City, SMAN 2 Tangerang Selatan City, SMK Ikhlas Jawilan Serang\nRegency, SMKN 5 Tangerang Regency, and SMAN 2 Pandeglang Regency.\nParticipants competed for the provincial title while showcasing their\nbest drill and flag-raising skills before judges from the military and\nPPI. \u201cGotong royong is not merely a social custom but a philosophical\nprinciple that defines the nation\u2019s political character, promoting\nmutual assistance, strengthening one another, and complementing each\nother beyond ethnic, religious, racial, or group boundaries,\u201d he said.\nHe explained that the spirit of gotong royong is evident in every drill\nmovement. When team members maintain synchronized steps, adjust rhythm\ncollectively, and uphold formations together, the spirit of unity and\ntogetherness is realised in tangible action. Furthermore, Heri\nhighlighted the profound meaning of the red and white flag ceremony. The\nred symbolises courage, while white represents purity of intent and\nsincere struggle. \u201cThe flag flying at the highest point serves as a\ncollective reminder of the sacrifices made by heroes who defended\nindependence with blood and tears,\u201d Heri said. Meanwhile, Tangerang\nSelatan Mayor Pilar Saga Ichsan said the LKBB-PB plays a vital role in\nshaping disciplined, resilient, nationalist youth with unity and love\nfor the homeland. \u201cThis event is not merely a competition for drill and\nflag-raising skills but also a platform for building disciplined,\nresilient, nationalist youth with unity and love for the nation,\u201d Pilar\nsaid. Pilar added that values demonstrated by participants\u2014such as\ncohesion, precision, leadership, and discipline\u2014are crucial for building\na strong, character-driven national future. He expressed pride in\nparticipants\u2019 enthusiasm from across Banten Province, from west to east.\nHe said their presence demonstrates strong nationalism and proves\nBanten\u2019s youth are ready to contribute to Indonesia\u2019s progress. As host,\nTangerang Selatan City Government pledged to continue supporting\npositive youth activities focused on character building and reinforcing\nnational values. \u201cWe believe the best investment for the nation\u2019s future\nlies in nurturing outstanding, disciplined, and patriotic youth,\u201d Pilar\nsaid. At the event\u2019s conclusion, participants were reminded to uphold\nsportsmanship, respect judges and fellow competitors, and treat the\ncompetition as a learning opportunity to strengthen camaraderie among\nBanten\u2019s students.<\/p>",
