Love Yourself Meets Pampanga's Best!

Lovers with Dr. Eric Tayag from DOH, Mr. Eric Veron Cruz from Pilipinas Shell Foundation,
and Mayor Ed Pamintuan

Angeles City, located within the province of Pampanga, a first-class, highly urbanized city; the first but definitely not the last stop of our exciting provincial tour in facilitating both HIV Summit and Candlelight Memorial last May 10, 2012. The event gathered both private and public communities and representatives in order to disseminate awareness and education on HIV and AIDS.

The event started at 8:00 am for the HIV summit, it focused on the current HIV & AIDS cases in Angeles City, of the whole Philippines, and the world. The program involved exciting and engaging simulations  and workshops that allowed the audience to participate actively. Thanks to our very energetic facilitators and speakers led by Dr. Jon Fontilla from the Pilipinas Shell Foundation who provided all the essential technical information about the HIV & AIDS, STI, and more, while our President & Founder, Ronivin Pagtakhan, discussed one of the most intriguing topics which was Gender, Sex, and Sexuality.
