Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

WARAYA gears up for another advocacy and benefit concert to close in the Valentine season. The organization, being the pioneer youth advocate on Adolescent Reproductive Health in Catbalogan City and in the Province of Samar has sought the need to address relevant issues that affects the young people of today. One of which is the much talked about and controversial House Bill 5043, which is more commonly known as the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill. WARAYA among other organizations and agencies supports this RH Bill for it is in this firm belief that this bill comprehensively addresses a wide scope of issues that include gender equality, women and youth empowerment, human rights and health. Hence, its passage in the House of Congress will be a step towards ensuring every Filipino’s rights to information, choice and a quality way of life.

With that concern, WARAYA will be staging their post-valentine concert, which carries the message of support for RH Bill entitled, “We ♥ RH! A Post-Valentine Advocacy & Benefit Concert” on February 28, 2009 at the Catbalogan City Port, Catbalogan City.

Home-grown talents will be highlighted during the concert as it always has been for WARAYA, believing in the capacities of Catbaloganons and Samarnons. In honing their talents, skills and personalities, WARAYA contributes to the development of young people in hopes of better making them responsible members of the society and potent partners of nation-building. Apart from showcasing young people’s talents, the advocacy concert also aims to raise and solicit support from the different stakeholders for the organization’s sustainability of its programs and activities as well as its soon-to-be-transferred Resource Hub.

WARAYA’s Resource Hub has been serving young people for more than a year since its opening last December 2007 serving as facility that is conducive to self expression and interaction among young people. With the mainstream plight of sustainability of every organization, WARAYA has also been vulnerable. That is why WARAYA conducts low cost and high yield activities that utilizes the least possible resources but reaches and achieves significant results. WARAYA is in continuous efforts to keep afloat amidst crisis while still keeping the fire burning for youth empowerment thru advocacy activities.
