Last June 12, 2026, The CPU Outreach Students’ Volunteers Society (CPU OSVS) together with the CPU College of Nursing Student Council (CONSC), successfully conducted “Project AmliGabay: Sex Education, Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Drug Awareness Program” at Alberto Sorongon Sr. Memorial High School in Pototan, Iloilo.

Project AmliGabay is an initiative spearheaded by the Health and Wellness Committee of CPU OSVS, it aims to educate students on health concerns affecting today’s youth. Through interactive discussions, the initiative focused on equipping students on the importance of sex education, health promotion, disease prevention, and drug awareness that encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle with informed choices. A total of 45 Grade 12 Senior High School students of Alberto Sorongon Sr. Memorial High School are the beneficiaries of this initiative.

Volunteers from the CPU College of Nursing Student Council (CONSC) conducted discussions on Sex Education that highlights teenage pregnancy, contraceptives, and sexually transmitted diseases. They also discussed Disease Prevention, raising awareness on taking prevention of common diseases through proper hygiene and a careful lifestyle. Our CPU OSVS volunteers led the Drug Awareness discussion that focused on the dangers of misuse and abuse of drugs, discussing their long-term consequences on one’s health. Following the discussions, there are interactive games facilitated by CPU student-volunteers that encourage the students to engage, participate and ask questions that further broaden their knowledge on these health topics.

Project AmliGabay empowers the youth’s knowledge on health education, disease prevention, and drug awareness. By providing accessible and evidence-based information, it helps them nurture awareness, accountability, and confidence as they navigate the challenges of life carrying with them the weight of making correct lifestyle decisions that will impact their wellbeing.

The CPU OSVS expressed gratitude to all partners who made the event possible. The organization acknowledges its main partners, the CPU College of Nursing Student Council and the Alberto Sorongon Sr. Memorial High School.

Through unified efforts, Project AmliGabay nurtured the youth that goes beyond teaching, it empowers them to be like minded individuals that prioritize their own health while recognizing that every decision they make has the power to change their lives and influence the communities, they belong to.
