Marking yet another remarkable milestone in its public service journey, the municipality was formally conferred a Plaque of Appreciation by FPOP, given this 12th day of May, 2026, in Virac. This recognition honors San Andres as a steadfast and reliable partner in delivering lifesaving sexual and reproductive health services. This made possible through the dedicated efforts of Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) and barangay health station teams across the municipality, especially reaching out to the most vulnerable communities and populations in need.

This achievement stands as a testament to the LGU’s unwavering commitment to health, welfare, and inclusive service delivery, and to the collective hard work of every member of the local health workforce.

True to its shared principle,

“Leading with heart, serving as one.”

Across our region, nurses are holding communities and health systems together through conflict, climate crises, staff shortages, funding cuts and growing inequalities in access to care. Yet too often, they are working under immense pressure without the recognition, protection, or support they deserve.

But nurses are more than caregivers. They are advocates, trusted community leaders, and frontline defenders of dignity, health, and justice. Building fair and resilient health systems means ensuring nurses are safe, supported, fairly paid, heard, and able to lead. 🩺 🌏

For Lady L, sexual and reproductive healthcare is not simply a profession, but something deeply personal. Supporting women and men to access care — especially during times of crisis — felt, to her, like caring for her own family.

“As a nurse, making family planning accessible means supporting people to make healthy choices for themselves and their future. It is fulfilling to see people live healthier and better lives.”

- Lady L, Nurse, FPOP Camarines Sur Chapter
Her words are a reminder that nursing is rooted not only in skill and service, but in compassion, trust, and the belief that everyone deserves care without judgment. 📣

This , we honour the nurses who continue to show up for their communities every day with courage, empathy, and unwavering commitment. When nurses are empowered, care becomes more accessible, communities become stronger, and more lives are changed.💜

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 (𝗣𝗡𝗔𝗖) and San Lazaro Hospital are inviting all members and partners to join the 2026 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 on May 21st. This year’s theme, "𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘤𝘺: 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳. 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘈𝘤𝘵. 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦," serves as both a tribute to the advocates who shaped the HIV response and a call to continue progress through compassionate, community-led action. While a central ceremony will be held at the San Lazaro Hospital Dome at 4:00 PM, the Council is encouraging organizations nationwide to host their own simultaneous events, including testing drives, educational forums, and digital advocacy campaigns.

To help spread the word, a toolkit of promotional materials is available for public use.

𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗼 𝗯𝗮? Kasama sa tinuturo ng Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) ang mga basic concepts gaya ng consent, respect, and healthy relationships.

Evidence shows that CSE does not encourage early sexual activity, but instead strengthens protective behaviors and reduces risks linked to sexual violence (WHO). By addressing harmful gender norms and promoting bodily autonomy, CSE helps create safer communities. Education is protection, and education starts with a high-quality, well-implemented, and rights-based CSE.

The recent issue involving a young trans girl and her "𝑨𝑭𝑨𝑴" reflects a reality where opportunity can feel out of reach, and unequal relationships may begin to appear as a way out and personal empowerment.

For many Filipino youth, vulnerability to exploitation is shaped not only by individual choices, but by poverty, grooming, limited opportunities, and unequal power relations. Because these gaps persist, exploitation can be mistaken for opportunity, especially among young people. Protecting Filipino adolescents means addressing these conditions at their roots. It requires ensuring access to 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐂𝐒𝐄) so adolescents can understand consent, rights, and healthy relationships, alongside accessible health services, safe and affirming spaces, and meaningful economic and educational opportunities to make safe, informed, and dignified choices, and to shape their futures on their own terms.

As duty bearers, trusted adults must ensure that adolescents are supported in understanding their rights and are situated in environments that affirm safety, dignity, and agency.
