CebuTech Tuburan employees and students participated in the launch of the 2025 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAWC) under the theme “UNiTEd for a VAW-Free Philippines” on November 25, 2025.
The launching program began with a Zumba Fitness for VAWC Awareness Campaign led by instructor Mr. Meloc Amor Delos Santos. Participants wore orange, the campaign’s signature color, in a demonstration against gender-based violence.
The program opened with a Prayer to End Violence Against Women, followed by the “All Women Casts Lupang Hinirang,” the Bagong Pilipinas hymn, the ASEAN Hymn, and the Sugbo Hymn.
Ms. Cristy Xilde Amancio, HRMO, delivered the opening remarks, welcoming participants and emphasizing the 18-day campaign’s purpose: to raise awareness and mobilize the community toward a VAW-free environment.
Dr. Ingersol Ed Guias, GAD Coordinator, introduced the next session focusing on practical empowerment. Prof. Vincent I. Caballes then conducted Self-Defense Training, guiding participants through techniques to build personal safety skills and confidence.
