Since 2015 up to present, I have been engaged in advocating the full implementation of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law through volunteering in the implementation of youth forum across the province of Palawan most especially in my hometown in partnership with different National Government Agencies, Non-Government Organizations, and Local Government Units.
Moreover, I have trained more than a hundred plus youth peer educators in my hometown that serves as speakers in conducting our community and school-based Information, Education, & Communication Campaign on Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health that resulted to the tremendous decrease by 50% of the annual incidence rate of teen pregnancy in the municipality based on the Municipal Health Office Annual Report.
My passion for family planning started way back during our college fieldworks on Community Development Course where we get to immerse on far-flung communities who have a large number of families. By then, I learned the concept of population development and its connection to our finite resources.
I, personally, have experienced the social and personal development impact of family planning through empowering women of our society to have informed decisions on deciding their preferred family size.
As a youth leader, mentor, peer educator, and local legislator, I considered myself as a public figure that the young people are looking after. The way I understand Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health and family planning is crucial because it sets the direction of my policy agenda and priority programs and projects for the youth. One of my accomplishments is the passage of the " Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ordinance" which I have sponsored and co-authored the Ordinance Adopting the RPRH Law.
I'll use this platform to advance and strengthen advocacy on Family Planning and empowering the youth sector on ASRH, and to enhance my leadership skills through networking, mentoring, and collaboration with other global partners. I will use the grant in implementing a project in other towns of Palawan with the aim to provide reliable information about ASRH to prevent them in experiencing early, unwanted, and risky pregnancy that might cause the death and the reason of getting into poverty.
