Basakanon Advocates and Leaders for Adolescent Health and Development

Behind every milestone of BALAHD is a leader who believed, supported, and stood with us every step of the way. 💙
None of our achievements would have been possible without the unwavering support and hands-on leadership of Hon. Kim S. Estillore , SK Councillor in charge of the Committee on Health and Education.

Your dedication continues to empower youth and strengthen our mission in serving the Basakanon community. 🙌

🛡️🇵🇭 Lapu-Lapu Day

April 27 marks the historic victory of Lapu-Lapu and his warriors over the forces of Ferdinand Magellan during the Battle of Mactan, a defining moment of early Filipino resistance against foreign rule.

📜 In recent years, this date has been officially recognized to honor Lapu-Lapu’s legacy of bravery, leadership, and love for country. It is also observed as a special non-working holiday in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

🏅 Fun fact: The Order of Lapu-Lapu was created to recognize individuals who demonstrate exceptional service and courage in nation-building.

✨ From history to today, Lapu-Lapu’s story continues to remind us of the strength and resilience of the Filipino spirit.

🇵🇭 𝗘𝗗𝗦𝗔 𝗮𝘁 𝟰𝟬

Fourty years ago, Filipinos stood shoulder to shoulder on EDSA armed only with courage, faith, and hope. Tanks were stopped with rosaries and flowers, proving to the world that ordinary people can change the course of history without bloodshed.

Today, the meaning of EDSA continues to evolve. Some remember it with pride, others question its promises, and many feel that its work remains unfinished. Surveys show that while most Filipinos believe the spirit of EDSA endures, there is also recognition that its hopes—justice, accountability, and dignity—remain challenges we continue to face together.

Even as February 25 is marked a “special working day,” the memory of EDSA endures as a reminder of the courage, unity, and civic responsibility that continue to shape our nation.

Representing BALAHD, our President actively joined fellow youth leaders from across the region in meaningful discussions anchored on the five pillars of development—Environment, Housing, Education, Health, and Governance. Together with the Federation of Youth Organizations of Barangay Basak-FYOB, we contributed to the Youth Dialogue: Cebu in 2050, envisioning a future that is inclusive, sustainable, and youth-driven.

The forum empowered young leaders to critically assess today’s realities and co-create bold, actionable visions for Cebu’s future. Through collaborative discussions and sector-based dialogues, we reaffirmed our commitment to advancing adolescent health, youth leadership, and community development.

We extend our sincere gratitude to ScienceKonek, in partnership with 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙡 𝘼𝙨𝙞𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝘾𝙚𝙗𝙪 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮–𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮, and 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙨 – 𝙑𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙨 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧, for organizing this impactful initiative that nurtures strategic youth leadership and multi-sector collaboration.
