Baguio City, Philippines – In response to the increasing numbers of teen pregnancies in the Cordillera Region, the John Hay Management Corporation, the Baguio City Health Services Office, and the Engineers Hill Healthcare Facility collaborated in holding a “Peer Education Training on Adolescent Sexuality and Reproductive Health” workshop. The workshop took place on the 23rd, 24th, and 26th of August and was attended by participating students from Saint Louis University, the University of the Cordilleras, Baguio College Technology, Pinsao National High School, San Vicente National High School, and Baguio City National High School.
The workshop aimed to educate young people about the complexities of adolescent sexuality and reproductive health. JHMC believes that by providing young people with knowledge and skills through training, the incidence of teenage pregnancy can be reduced or otherwise prevented, resulting in a healthier and more informed decision that can be promoted among young people in the community.
Over the years, JHMC has continued to undertake corporate social responsibility, especially for students and youth, through its Karunungan Project.
