💗 Women’s Month Kickoff: CerviQ Brings Cervical Cancer Screening to Rizal Memorial Coliseum
The celebration of National Women’s Month 2026 officially began today as the Philippine Commission on Women hosted its Kickoff Ceremony at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila—bringing together advocates, government agencies, and organizations committed to empowering Filipino women.
Among the invited partners was End Cervical Cancer Philippines Organization Inc. (CerviQ), which provided cervical cancer screening using the speculoscope-assisted VIA system.
Just like in our ongoing screening initiatives in Marikina, women who participated were able to register, get screened, and receive their results through email before leaving the venue—a seamless process made possible through our collaboration with Care Connect Philippines.
This approach shows how technology can bring faster, more accessible cervical cancer screening directly to communities.
✨ Young Advocates Stepping Up
Adding energy to the event were OJT interns from Health Screen Laboratory and Diagnostic Center, who actively supported the advocacy through flyering and awareness activities.
They also helped promote the importance of HPV vaccination, highlighting protection offered by the HPV 9-valent vaccine—an important step in preventing HPV-related diseases, including cervical cancer.
🌸 A Celebration of Women and Community
The kickoff ceremony also featured booths and exhibits from various organizations supporting women’s empowerment, including:
• Bureau of Jail Management and Penology showcasing livelihood products made by Persons Deprived of Liberty
• Bureau of Plant Industry distributing seedlings
• Small Business Corporation of the Department of Trade and Industry
• PATAMABA
• Maynilad Water Services
• Voice of the Free
• Mercury Drug
• Angel’s Burger
• Dizon Farms
• Compact Pharmaceuticals
• AN Blooms
Together, these initiatives showcased how health, livelihood, and social programs can work hand in hand to uplift women and communities.
📣 Next Stop: The W.O.M.E.N. Show
Our CerviQ team and student volunteers will be back in action at the W.O.M.E.N. Show 2026 on March 23–24 at Ayala Malls Circuit, organized by Soroptimist International of Metro Circuit.
