The Duterte Youth, officially the Duty to Energize the Republic through the Enlightenment of the Youth Sectoral Party-list Organization, was a Filipino right-wing youth organization that supported former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte and his political positions. It was founded in 2016 by Ronald Cardema, who served as its chairman. The Duterte Youth held seats in the House of Representatives of the Philippines from 2019 through the party-list system and was the subject of various controversies. Its party-list registration was cancelled on October 1, 2025.

Ronald Cardema acknowledged that his group had been likened to the Hitler Youth of the Nazis but emphasized that the German organization had existed "in a different generation, a different continent, in a different context". He argued that the Hitler Youth has no patent over its name, and it is not forbidden for a group to attach the word "youth" to a name of a president since "all countries have youth".

During their participation in the 2019 House of Representatives elections as a party-list, the group's official name was revealed as Duty to Energize the Republic through the Enlightenment of the Youth Sectoral Party-list Organization.

The Duterte Youth was founded by Ronald Cardema in 2016 to support the presidential campaign of Rodrigo Duterte. As of 2016, Cardema was also the chairman of the Kabataan for Bongbong Movement, a youth organization supporting Bongbong Marcos.

Duterte Youth held their first rally on November 25, 2016, to counter the protests against the burial of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos at Libingan ng mga Bayani. The group expressed their support for President Duterte and the Supreme Court, who ordered and affirmed the burial, respectively. A self-reported figure of 20 to 50 people attended the rally. In December 2016, Cardema claimed that the Duterte Youth already had 600 members across the Philippines. In February 2017, the group announced their plan to recruit 1 million members aged 15 to 30 by recruiting 1,000 people in each municipality and 5,000 in each city.

In August 2017, Duterte appointed Cardema to the National Youth Commission (NYC) as commissioner representing Luzon. Upon Ice Seguerra's resignation as NYC chairperson in April 2018, Cardema became the Officer in Charge until Duterte formally appointed him as the new NYC chairperson in August 2018.

The Duterte Youth made a successful bid to win at least a seat in the 2019 Philippine House of Representatives elections through party-list representation. Their five official nominees were as follows from 1st to 5th: (Ducielle Marie Suarez, Joseph de Guzman, Benilda de Guzman, Arnaldo Villafranca, and Elizabeth Anne Cardema). However, all five nominees withdrew and Duterte Youth leader Ronald Cardema who was also National Youth Commission chairman filed a substitution in a bid to fill in the seat himself. In relation to Cardema's bid, factors whether he filed substitution in time before polls closed on May 13 and whether he is qualified to represent the Duterte Youth in the House of Representatives were put into dispute.

Six of the seven members of the Comelec decided to give "due course" or deliberate further on Cardema's bid and four others accepted the withdrawal of Duterte Youth's five initial nominees. Only Election Commissioner Rowena Guanzon expressed dissent who argued that the three original nominees of ages 31 to 36, and also Cardema who is 34 years old, are not eligible to represent the party-list as a representative of the youth sector as per Section 9 of the Republic Act No. 7941 given that nominees should be aged 25 to 30 on election day. The commissioner also views the filing of the withdrawal of the original nominees at 5:30pm on May 12, 2019, a Sunday, as invalid since its contrary to Resolution No. 8665 which states that filing should be done on a regular working day during office hours. Cardema defended his eligibility insisting that the party while it represents the youth, also represents professionals in general as well.
