it has been almost two years since I left the happy, thrilling,knowledgeable and sometimes “ïntellectual” world of youth advocacy, specifically on health and empowerment.\
But I guess, there’s truth behind the concept of “the mind forgets but the heart remembers”. Today, I have some lull moment and I suddenly feel the urge to read about the latest data on HIV/AIDS here in the Philippines.
What I found out was both sad and alarming, and it triggered the sleeping advocate inside of me.

Just because we are “safe”doesn’t mean that we can turn our back into things that are happening around us.
We can never be so sure, because HIV is a virus that recognizes no age,sex,culture or social status.
And again, my prayers to People Living with HIV and AIDS and their family and love ones, strength.
And a call to our legislators and policy makers to come up with a more cohesive,comprehensive and unified measures to prevent and protect.
Once an advocate,always an advocate.
