🎭 IBALONG FESTIVAL READINESS:

The Ibalong Festival is bringing a massive influx of domestic and foreign tourists to our city. This spike in visitors requires heightened health vigilance in our nightlife and entertainment sectors.

All Guest Relations Officers (GROs) must prioritize their mandatory weekly smear screening. Keeping your health certificates updated is vital to protect yourselves, your families, and the general public.

🚫 CONSEQUENCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE

Failure to undergo the weekly health screening will result in immediate consequences:

Suspension of work clearance
Closure of non-compliant venues
Fines for management

Let us keep Legazpi City safe, healthy, and festive!

Behind every statistic is a life, a story, and a community that deserves care, dignity, and compassion.

While HIV is now treatable and manageable with proper care, many people still face silence, fear, and discrimination. Conversations grounded in truth and compassion can help break this cycle.

Learn the facts. Encourage testing. Stand against stigma.

"Data without action changes nothing"

As advised by DILG CLGOO Engr. Meredith Basquiñas, for our 1st Semestral Submission on RPRH KRA 4 (STI and HIV/AIDS), our LGU's goal goes beyond just reporting numbers - it is about translating these metrics into concrete, life-saving preventative programs and unwavering community support. Let's keep pushing forward for a healthier, stigma-free community.
