The LGBTQIA+ Organization of Tabuk City, represented by Vice President Mundei Delos Reyes Galinggan, proudly joined the 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝑯𝑰𝑽 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 in observance of World AIDS Day 2025.

📍 Tabuk City — December 10, 2025

This year’s provincial commemoration highlights the global theme: “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response.”

The event gathered health professionals from the city, municipal, and provincial levels, together with diverse advocacy groups working hand-in-hand to advance HIV awareness, strengthen prevention efforts, and reduce stigma across Kalinga.

This orientation was more than just the sharing of information:
It was alignment.
It was promise.
It was a quiet yet powerful declaration that in Kalinga, no learner, no parent, and no neighbor will face HIV alone.

We stand united to transform the AIDS response—
not with fear, not with judgment,
but with clarity, courage, and community.

We envision a future where early testing is normalized, treatment is accessible, conversations are safe, and compassion speaks louder than stigma ever has.

As the world reflects on this year’s theme, Kalinga’s health sector reaffirms its commitment to overcoming disruptions and ensuring that quality HIV services remain available and inclusive for all.

HAPPENING NOW: Provincial AIDS Council Meeting.

A meaningful and powerful discussion today as we gather for the Provincial AIDS Meeting.

According to Ma’am Flordeliza A. Abay, Provincial HIV/AIDS Coordinator, a total of 59 HIV cases have been recorded in the Province of Kalinga from 1984 to June 2025, with Tabuk City having the highest number at 49 People Living with HIV (PLHIV).

Dra. Rilyn Grace Astudillo, HACT Chairperson, presented updates on the Lumin-awa Treatment Hub, focusing on how to prevent the progression of HIV and reinforcing HIV 101 for everyone present.

We were also joined by Dr. Edward B. Tandingan, who discussed the Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act and officially welcomed all Council Members.

Together, let us strengthen advocacy, promote education, and continue fighting stigma, because awareness saves lives.
