The opening was enlivened by a\nprocession of beating the Polopalo, a traditional musical instrument\ntypical of Gorontalo, as a symbol of the start of the competition aimed\nat strengthening the younger generation\u2019s understanding of national\nvalues. The ceremony began with an official opening by the Head of the\nBureau for Session Affairs and Constitutional Dissemination of the MPR\nRI Secretariat General, Wachid Nugroho, followed by the Polopalo beating\ntogether with the Head of the Gorontalo Provincial Education and Culture\nOffice, Sudarman Samad. In his speech, Sudarman expressed appreciation\nfor the organisation of the MPR RI Four Pillars LCC. According to him,\nthe activity is not merely a competition but a learning medium for\nstudents to understand the foundations of national and state life. He\nstated that understanding the Four Pillars of the MPR RI is important as\na fortress for the younger generation in facing the strong negative\ninfluences of digital technology and social media development. \u2018Our hope\nis that this activity becomes a means of building character as well as\nstrengthening participants\u2019 understanding of national values,\u2019 Sudarman\nsaid. He also invited all participants to uphold sportsmanship during\nthe competition and expressed appreciation to the teachers who had\nguided the students to participate in the provincial level competition.\nHe emphasised that all participants are the best sons and daughters of\nGorontalo who are expected to become future leaders of the nation with\nstrong character based on Pancasila values. Meanwhile, Wachid Nugroho\nrevealed that the LCC is one of the MPR\u2019s strategies to socialise the\nFour Pillars while strengthening the ideological resilience of the\nyounger generation. He said the heavy flow of information on social\nmedia requires the younger generation to have the ability to filter out\nideologies that contradict Pancasila. \u2018This competition is not just a\ncontest, but one of the MPR\u2019s methods to strengthen national values and\nPancasila among the nation\u2019s next generation,\u2019 he said. Wachid also\nreminded that ahead of the 81st anniversary of Indonesian independence,\nthe younger generation must understand that independence was achieved\nthrough the sacrifices of heroes and must be filled by maintaining\nunity. He assessed that the Nusantara is not just a collection of\nthousands of islands, but a great idea that unites diversity in\nethnicity, language, and culture within the framework of the Unitary\nState of the Republic of Indonesia. Therefore, participants are expected\nnot only to master material about history and the constitution but also\nto be able to practice the values of the Four Pillars in daily life.\nFurthermore, Wachid emphasised that the current young generation will\ndetermine the direction of the nation\u2019s journey towards a Golden\nIndonesia 2045. Through the MPR RI Four Pillars LCC, they are expected\nto grow into a generation that is intelligent, has character, and is\nready to be at the forefront of safeguarding the integrity of the\nUnitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). \u2018Win with honour, and\nif you do not succeed, go home as a warrior with your head held high,\u2019\nhe advised the participants.
