Youth Reform Movement Philippines (YRMPH) is a non-profit sociopolitical organization composed of the youth sector registered within the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission, operating globally through a network of young Filipino university students and youth leaders with particular interest in Philippine political and sociocivic affairs.[1][2] The organization was formerly known as Youth for Miriam, the youth arm of the 2016 presidential campaign of Miriam Defensor Santiago, initially partnering with People's Reform Party, the political party of Defensor Santiago.[3]

It envisions to educate and encourage more youth to be involved in civic and public affairs in the Philippines, with adherence to the political philosophies espoused by the highly decorated jurist and statesperson Miriam Defensor Santiago. The organization is also cited in the Supreme Court decision related to the ouster of Maria Lourdes Sereno as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.[4]
