RPGTMH gathered as one community, not only to remember those who lost, but to honor the strength of those who continue to fight, live and inspire. Each candle symbolizes hope, compassion, resilience and the promise that no story will ever be forgotten.

The memorial mass was presided over by Rev. Fr. Blas G. Estrevencion, reminding everyone of compassion, healing, and the importance of keeping the light of hope alive within our communities. Following the mass was a short yet heartfelt program featuring the Words of Enlightenment delivered by Dr. Lily Ann Eslabra, MD, MPM, MMHoA (RPGTMH Chief of Hospital II), the Commitment Pledge led by Mark Aeron Gelpe (SHIP-UPSCALE Case Manager), the solemn Service of Lights participated in by all attendees, and the Intentional Prayer led by Phele Garferio (Volunteer Peer Navigator & HIV Counselor).

Together, we remember.
Together, we advance.
Together, we act.

This Valentine’s Day, love responsibly. ❤️

Passion is sweet, but protection is sweeter. A gentle reminder: using a condom isn’t just about preventing pregnancy, it’s about protecting yourself and your partner from HIV and other STIs. Real love cares. Real love protects.

No glove, no love. Stay safe, stay informed, and make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable for the right reasons.

LOVE RESPONSIBLY.

February 13 is International Condom Day, launched in 2009 by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation to promote safer s*x and raise awareness about HIV prevention ahead of Valentine’s Day.

: In October 2025, the World Health Organization urged the Philippines to address its rising HIV cases, which have increased sixfold over the past 14 years: https://inqnews.net/whohiv

A major step forward for HIV governance! This aligns LGUs with RA 11166, strengthens Local AIDS Councils, promotes meaningful participation of PLHIV and communities, supports community-led interventions, and integrates HIV into local plans and budgets. It only makes a difference if it reaches ground, so read, share, and help spread this to LGUs and LACs.
