After completing the stations, the students received snacks and joined the games prepared for them, including Human Snakes and Ladders, Jumble Bamble, Block Puzzle, Mix & Match, and Jack en Poy. The first ten winners across the different games also received exciting prizes.

MENTAL HEALTH HOTLINES 💙

Hindi lahat ng pinagdaraanan natin ay kailangan nating harapin nang mag-isa. May mga pagkakataong kailangan lang natin ng taong makikinig, uunawa, at tutulong sa atin na makita ang susunod na hakbang.

Kaya kung ikaw o isang taong mahalaga sa’yo ay nangangailangan ng tulong, huwag matakot na umabot at humingi ng suporta.

May kasama ka.

May handang makinig sa’yo.

May aakay sa’yo.

Save these numbers. Share them with someone who might need them. You never know when a simple piece of information can help someone find the support they need. 💙

A reminder from LIWANAG ✨

“YOU DESERVE THE SAME GENTLENESS YOU SO FREELY GIVE TO EVERYONE ELSE.”

You’re always so quick to understand others, forgive their mistakes, celebrate their little wins, and remind them that they are doing enough. But sometimes, we forget to give that same kindness to ourselves.

So today, give yourself lavishly good affirmations. Speak to yourself with the same warmth you give to the people you love. Remind yourself that you are capable, worthy, growing, and doing better than you think.

Here are some affirmations you can say to yourself and start your day with;

-I am doing the best I can, and that is enough for today.
-I am worthy of kindness, patience, and understanding.
-I am allowed to rest without feeling guilty.
-I am proud of how far I have come.
-I don’t have to have everything figured out right now.

You don’t have to wait for someone else to tell you that you’re doing well. Sometimes, you can be your own gentle reminder.

Isang saglit. Isang paalala. Isang munting liwanag para sa’yo.

CHECKING UP MATTERS. 💙

Sometimes, a simple “Kumusta ka?” can be the reminder someone needs that they are seen, heard, and cared for. You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly what to do. Sometimes, being there and genuinely listening is already enough.

These 5 steps are only a guide. Every person is different, and not every situation can be approached the same way. Beyond following a checklist, use your senses, pay attention, and feel the person in front of you. Notice their tone, actions, silence, and the little changes that words may not always explain.

Most importantly, don’t just check up because you were told to—check up because you care.A little presence, a little patience, and a genuine “Kumusta ka?” can go a long way.

And don’t forget to refer if needed🫂💙

Because sometimes, people don’t need us to fix everything. They just need to know that someone cares enough to ask.💙

A gentle reminder from our friend, LIWANAG, our SILNAG mascot:

“I hope beautiful things happen to you, and when they do, I hope you can believe that you are worthy of every single one of them.”

Believe that you are worthy. Believe that you are capable. You do not have to question every good thing that comes your way or convince yourself that you do not deserve it.

There are still beautiful things waiting to unfold in your favor. There are opportunities, people, moments, and blessings yet to come.

So when something good finally finds you, don’t be afraid to receive it. You have worked, grown, survived, and become the person you are today.

You are worthy of good things.

Isang saglit. Isang paalala. Isang munting liwanag para sa’yo.

“Isang saglit. Isang paalala. Isang munting liwanag para sa’yo”

“Baka balang araw, lilingon ka sa bersyon ng sarili mong ito at mapapangiti ka dahil naalala mong pinili mong magpatuloy.”

May mga araw na mabigat. May mga daan na matarik, nakakatakot, at tila walang kasiguraduhan kung saan hahantong. May mga pagkakataong gusto na lang nating huminto dahil pagod na tayo sa paulit-ulit na pagsubok.

Pero sana, sa bawat araw na mahirap, piliin pa rin nating magpatuloy, kahit mabagal, kahit maliit na hakbang lang. Hindi kailangang maging matatag ka palagi. Hindi kailangang alam natin agad kung paano malalampasan ang lahat. Minsan, sapat nang sabihin sa sarili, “Susubukan ko ulit bukas.”

Darating ang araw na lilingon tayo at makikita natin kung gaano karami ang nalampasan natin. At marahil doon natin mauunawaan na ang tapang ay hindi kawalan ng takot, kundi ang pagpili na magpatuloy kahit natatakot, pagod, at hindi sigurado.

May patutunguhan pa. May mga bukas pang hindi natin nakikita. May mga bagay pang naghihintay na maranasan, mga taong makikilala, at mga dahilan pang darating upang ipaalala kung bakit sulit ang paglalakbay.

Kaya kung mabigat ang araw na ito, dahan-dahan lang. Huminga. Magpahinga kung kailangan. At kapag kaya na, isang hakbang ulit.

Piliin nating magpatuloy. Dahil hindi pa dito nagtatapos ang ating kuwento💙

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫;𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 Youth Mental Health Caravan continues its journey, bringing conversations on mental health and youth well-being to the young people of Alilem, Ilocos Sur.

For SILNAG Peer Support Club, this journey is more than an opportunity to volunteer—it is an opportunity to listen, learn, connect, and be part of a movement that creates safer and more supportive spaces for young people to talk about what they feel and experience.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Provincial Youth Development Office of Ilocos Sur (PYDO) for continuously believing in SILNAG and for giving our young volunteers the opportunity to be part of this meaningful initiative. Thank you for allowing us to serve alongside you, learn from the work you do, and contribute our time, energy, and heart to the youth of Ilocos Sur.

May we continue to build communities where every young person feels heard, valued, understood, and never alone in their journey toward better mental well-being.

Together, we listen. Together, we care. Together, we become a light for every young person who needs one. 💙

“Uy, kumusta, friend?” isang simpleng tanong, pero maaaring maging malaking paalala sa isang tao na hindi siya nag-iisa.

Ngayong National Su***de Prevention Month, paalala ng SILNAG na hindi kailangang maging eksperto para makinig. Minsan, sapat nang maging present at alam makiramdam, magtanong nang may malasakit, at bigyan ang isang tao ng ligtas na espasyo para magsalita.

Tara, pag-usapan natin ’yan. Makikinig ako. Hindi kita huhusgahan. Hindi kita mamadaliin. Nandito lang ako.

Sa mundong marami ang mayroong tahimik na pinagdaraanan, piliin nating maging taong marunong kumumusta, makinig, umunawa, at manatili. Dahil ang isang simpleng “Uy, kumusta?” ay maaaring maging simula ng isang mahalagang pag-uusap.

Hindi natin kailangang dalhin mag-isa ang bigat. Mag-abot tayo ng kamay. Magbigay ng oras. Magbigay ng pakikinig. Magbigay ng pag-asa.

Para sa bawat boses na kailangang marinig.
Para sa bawat pusong kailangang maalala na may kasama siya.
Para sa bawat liwanag na mahalaga.

𝗞𝗔𝗣𝗪𝗔 | 𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗡𝗔𝗚 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

Inclusion begins when we choose to understand.

The 𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗡𝗔𝗚 – 𝗣𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗿 participated in the two-day 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽: 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝘀, 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝘄 at the Ilocos Sur Provincial Capitol in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur on June 29–30, 2026.

Conducted by the 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗙𝗜𝗟 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗰. in collaboration with the 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗿 (𝗣𝗚𝗜𝗦) through the 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗣𝗬𝗗𝗢), the workshop brought together 62 youth leaders and Local Youth Development Officers from across the province. The sessions focused on disability concepts, rights and laws, disability-inclusive language and etiquette, accessibility, and meaningful youth participation.

SILNAG Members took an active part throughout the workshop, joining the discussions and experiential activities while also leading energizer dances. Members also raised questions, offered clarifications, and shared their thoughts during the sessions.

More than learning about disability, the workshop challenged participants to look beyond stereotypes and better understand the barriers faced by persons with disabilities. It also highlighted the role of young people in creating communities where persons with disabilities can participate meaningfully and are treated with dignity and respect.

Learning about disability inclusion is also part of learning how to make spaces where everyone can participate and feel that they belong.

Standing alongside fellow youth leaders, SILNAG members took on the mission of becoming more resourceful, compassionate, and equipped responders. Through hands-on drills, realistic simulations, and collaborative learning, they discovered that true strength isn’t measured by superpowers but by the courage to step up when others need help most.

After all, with great responsibility comes the opportunity to serve.
