On October 16, 2026, the City Population and Youth Development Office (CPYDO) successfully conducted the Adolescent Reproductive Health (ARH) Caravan at Silanga National High School in collaboration with the Waray-waray Youth Advocates (WARAYA), and PYAP Catbalogan Chapter, bringing valuable knowledge and awareness to adolescents on reproductive health, personal responsibility, self-care, and the protection of their rights.
The activity featured insightful discussions from our resource speakers:
Rebecca Koren Prudenciado – Adolescent Reproductive Health and Rights, and Project ABOT
Lorreianne M. Mantilla – My Body, My Responsibility: Personal Hygiene and Self-Care
Tricia Joy D. Buenaventura – Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change
Samuel T. Haclop – Bawal Bastos Law
Through these meaningful discussions, our young people were empowered to make informed decisions, practice proper personal hygiene, respect themselves and others, understand their rights, and become more responsible and confident individuals.
Our sincere gratitude to our partner agencies, resource speakers, school administrators, teachers, and students for making this activity a success! Together, let us continue building a generation that is informed, empowered, responsible, and respectful.
Empowering the youth today for a healthier and brighter tomorrow!
