You might have heard people using the term reproductive freedom before—but what does it actually mean? It means all people, deserve the right to make choices about their own bodies, so they can design their own future.

Even beyond Pride Month, protecting Filipino adolescents from violence and bullying remains urgent.

A PIDS study using data from the Longitudinal Cohort Study on the Filipino Child (LSCFC) looks at how experiences of domestic violence and bullying vary by s*xual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE) among Filipino adolescents.

The study finds that:

🌈 14.0% identified as s*xual minority
🏠 Sexual minority adolescents had 1.7x higher odds of exposure to domestic violence
📚 They also had 2.1x higher odds of experiencing repeated and intentional bullying
🛡️ Gender expression also mattered, with different risks observed among gender non-conforming girls and boys

These findings show why child protection, school anti-bullying responses, and better SOGIE-sensitive data must work together to ensure that no child is left behind.

The LCSFC is UNFPA Philippines’ flagship longitudinal research initiative in the Philippines, supported by the Australian Government and UNICEF, and implemented by a consortium of demographic research institutions led by the USC-Office of Population Studies Foundation, Inc.

OSEA is proud to share that two of our dedicated members, Arriane Godilo and Laarne Gelilio, successfully participated in "Beyond the Grind: Mental Health Forum & Team Building Activity." This two-day overnight event was organized by the Local Youth Development Office (LYDO) and held at the scenic Camp Toril Farm, Resort & Camping Site in Sta. Magdalena, Sorsogon.

The comprehensive program featured vital mental health sessions covering the basics of mental well-being, unique reflective exercises like the “Kamusta kana Self” moral activity, and strategic planning sessions for upcoming Lingo ng Kabataan activities. Beyond the forum discussions, our representatives immersed themselves in team-building exercises, a farm tour, and a hike to Sta. Magdalena Falls.

We extend our gratitude to the LYDO Bulan and SK Federation for organizing this essential safe space for local youth leaders.

With renewed perspectives and stronger bonds, Arriane and Laarne are ready to bring these valuable mental health insights and experiences back into OSEA’s community initiatives. Let's keep moving forward—together! 🌊💚

An magmoot na wara ulang an tunay na KATALINGKASAN

Here’s to the freedom to love out loud, choose our own paths, and build spaces where everyone belongs. Pride is not just a celebration; it is a daily practice of creating refuge for one another and breaking down old barriers.

An pagkamoot diri nanggad kasalan, kundi sarong pwersa na nagbubura kan gabos na ulang🌈

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, BULAN!

Moving beyond disaster relief, Project Wings PH successfully launched 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗢 (𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵) through its pilot implementation in Bulan last May 12–13, 2026 at the Sabang Pavilion.

In partnership with 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗘𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗴𝗼𝗻, 𝗟𝗚𝗨 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗻, and the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲 (𝗨𝗣𝗥𝗜), the program trained 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 from public and private schools, alongside 𝟵 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗥𝗥𝗠 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀, in evidence-based disaster risk management teaching strategies. Over two days, participants engaged in hands-on activities and discussions led by UPRI experts, learning how to translate geohazard science into classroom lessons that are relevant, accessible, and meaningful to students.

Volunteers from Operation Sexual Education and Awareness (OSEA), a fellow youth-led organization based in Bulan, also took part in the implementation of the program by assisting in activities and overall event coordination.

By strengthening the capacity of educators, Project ALERTO helps essential DRRM knowledge reach thousands of students annually and contributes to cultivating a stronger culture of preparedness in our communities.

We sincerely thank DepEd Sorsogon for mobilizing teacher-participants and supporting the visibility of the program, LGU Bulan and the Bulan MDRRMO for providing funding and logistical support, UPRI for generously sharing their expertise, and the OSEA volunteers for their invaluable hands-on assistance throughout the event. Most importantly, we thank our participants for their openness, energy, and commitment to building safer and more resilient communities through education.

We hope to bring the program to more communities and continue empowering educators and young people with the knowledge needed to understand risks, strengthen preparedness, and build resilience together.

True empowerment begins when we equip our youth with the right guidance and knowledge. OSEA was deeply honored to collaborate as an advocacy partner for the impactful youth seminar entitled "GABAY: Mulat na kaisipan, ligtas na kinabukasan: Edukasyong sekswal para sa kabataan."

This meaningful event was made possible through the joint efforts of the proactive Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) Students of Sorsogon State University – Bulan Campus and the dedicated Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) of Barangay JP Laurel. Recognizing the vital importance of reproductive health awareness, OSEA joined hands with these young leaders to facilitate essential discussions on comprehensive s*x education, personal boundaries, and safety.

OSEA extends its warmest gratitude to the SSU-BC BPA students for their community-driven leadership, and to the SK Officials of Barangay JP Laurel for prioritizing the health and holistic education of their youth. Thank you for trusting OSEA to be part of this vital guidance system!

Advocacy knows no boundaries! OSEA is thrilled to share a massive milestone as we officially crossed municipal lines for our very first engagement in the municipality of Matnog, Sorsogon!

We were deeply honored to partner with the progressive Sangguniang Kabataan SK and the dedicated Local Youth Organization of Brgy. Hidhid, Matnog for an impactful community session. Recognizing the urgent need for accessible health information, OSEA led a comprehensive and vital discussion centered entirely on HIV and AIDS Education.

OSEA extends its deepest, most heartfelt gratitude to the SK Officials and the Youth Organization of Barangay Hidhid for reaching out, trusting our team, and pioneering this partnership.

This first step into Matnog marks the beginning of an expanded horizon for OSEA, and we look forward to more cross-border collaborations that champion youth health education.

Finding time to pause, listen, and learn is vital for the growth of our youth. OSEA was honored to collaborate with the Sangguniang Kabataan of Barangay San Juan Bag-o as a partner for their impactful youth activity entitled "Reconnect and Reflect 2026."

In a shared effort to build a more informed, inclusive, and compassionate community, OSEA led crucial awareness discussions centered on three deeply intertwined areas: HIV and AIDS Awareness, SOGIE and Youth Mental Health. Through these open dialogues, the team focused on breaking stigmas, providing accurate information, and helping create a safe, supportive environment where the youth of San Juan Bag-o could ask questions, reflect on their well-being, and embrace their authentic selves.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to SK San Juan Bag-o for their proactive leadership in bringing these essential health and identity conversations to the forefront. Thank you for welcoming OSEA into your community, and to all the youth participants who showed up, engaged, and reflected with us—thank you for your vulnerability and active participation!

Together, let's keep reconnecting with our roots and reflecting on how we can better support one another.
