🧡 KAMATUORAN SERIES NO. 3 🧡
Demystifying Health Misconceptions: Proper Antibiotic Use

Antibiotics have saved millions of lives — but only when used correctly. Misuse and overuse can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), making infections harder to treat and putting public health at risk.

In this series, we break down common misconceptions about antibiotics, explain why prescriptions matter, and highlight how responsible use protects not just you — but everyone.

📌 Remember: antibiotics are powerful tools, not shortcuts.
Let’s choose knowledge over myths. 💊✨

THE RED RIBBON PROJECT | CONCLUDED
Know More. Fear Less. 2026

The Red Ribbon Project has successfully concluded—marking a meaningful step toward a more informed, compassionate, and health-conscious Silliman community.

Last January 14, 2026, students, faculty, and staff came together at Oriental Hall to participate in free and confidential HIV testing, screening, and counseling. Through this initiative, we created a safe space for learning, early detection, and open conversations—reminding everyone that knowing your status is an act of courage, care, and responsibility.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our partners, volunteers, medical professionals, and participants who made this initiative possible. Your presence and support helped strengthen awareness, challenge stigma, and promote facts over fear.

As HIV cases continue to rise nationwide, may this initiative serve as a reminder that awareness saves lives—and that collective action makes a difference.

Let’s keep the conversation going.
Let’s continue choosing knowledge, compassion, and community care. 💙
