By: Karlie It’s amazing knowing how HIV awareness has been receiving so much love from the community’s numerous allies - from popular celebrities such as former Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach and the current Miss Universe-Philippines Catriona Gray , to different companies who celebrate diversity and advocate socially relevant causes  as part of their company’s corporate goals. One remarkable company who has been doing this for so many years now is Victoria Court. Founded by Angelo King in 1970, the motorist hotel company has grown from its humble beginning from the simple Anito Lodge in Pasay City into a dynamic group of 10 amazing locations throughout the country. From its 24-hour service to its uniquely themed rooms, Victoria Court has definitely gone a long way. They don’t just provide quality service, they have amazing programs that has been paramount in the HIV advocacy.

By Diego Rozul Let's TESTMNL ! , LoveYourself and  TestMNL 's  fast, easy, and anonymous HIV testing event is happening on  May 28, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m . at  Victoria Court Malate .  To register, log on to  go.loveyourself.ph/testmnl .  Want to know how the test will be conducted then? Read on to find out.  LoveYourself has embarked on a great change, adapting a quicker and more efficient way of testing for HIV in its HIV testing day events - Community Based Screening (CBS). It was first used in the May 2016 Incognito testing which served 300 clients, so far the most successful turnout for any LoveYourself HIV testing day event. The advances in the time required to obtain results with high levels of accuracy have allowed LoveYourself to offer its past Incognito events and the upcoming Let's TESTMNL! as quick and efficient, promising results in 15 minutes from the time of the collection of blood sample. The decision to shift from Standard Testin...

By Diego Rozul Let’s TESTMNL ! is the latest anonymous HIV screening event of LoveYourself Inc. powered by TestMNL . The screening is fast, easy, and totally anonymous. The event will be held on May 28, 2017 (Sunday) at Victoria Court Malate from 10:00am - 7:00pm . Sign up at go.loveyourself.ph/testmnl to join Let’s TESTMNL! You will receive a confirmation notice two days prior the event (May 26, 2017, Friday). Similar to Incognito 2.0 in November 2016, Let’s TESTMNL! aims to reach out to key-affected populations that still undergo the stigma of getting tested for HIV. The event prioritizes strict confidentiality and quick screening procedures during the event. Participants no longer need to fill out lengthy forms encountered at many testing clinics. Instead, you just need to give your contact information upon registration, and you’ll be given a Unique Identifier Code (UIC). An available counselor will then attend to you, and after the test is done, the results will be ready in 15...

"What you see, what you hear, when you leave, leave it here." LoveYourself Incognito , the country's first community-based HIV screening for men that asks for no names, uses no forms, and is highly confidential, is set for May 29 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Victoria Court Malate .  Incognito, with its strictly confidential and quick screening process , is part of LoveYourself's efforts to reach out to the key-affected population that still suffers from the stigma of getting themselves tested for HIV - because they do not want their identities exposed. The process is patterned after similar successful screenings in Thailand (Suck, Fuck, Test) and the United States.  LoveYourself assures that even with a quicker screening process, Incognito will give out results that are as reliable as past whole-day testing events since the same rapid test kits in LoveYourself clinics will be used. The 3rd generation rapid test has 100% accuracy for non-reactive clients .   No names ne...

Last Saturday, something was amiss at Asgard. At exactly 08:00 PM on 10 August, 2013, Lovers flocked in droves to one of Victoria Court Malate ’s most magnificent themed rooms, Asgard .  The Thor-inspired offering—a palatial two-floor suite, decked to the nines with intricate gold finishes and illuminated at every turn with lush mood light—played host to one of the most exciting events at just a stone’s throw away from the LoveYourself Hub . The occasion? TLY Connect , a mixer organized by the LoveYourself Events committee with a distinctly LoveYourself flavor. Advertised internally as having “no agenda, just fun and excitement”, it was exactly the breather that the Lovers had been looking forward to, some even having come from the furthest reaches of the metro to be able to “mix, match and be merry” that night.  The Events committee certainly did not disappoint: a potluck ensured food, drinks and “drinks” aplenty, and a packed karaoke catalogue ...
