Wazzup Pilipinas!

This is a shout out to all LGBTI, HIV and AIDS Advocates, Supporters and Friends.

The Project Red Ribbon Care Management Foundation, Inc. (TRR) will be holding two international events on May 17, 2015 at the Liwasang Aurora, Quezon Memorial Circle from 2pm to 9pm.

The two events are the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) and the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial (IACM) both internationally recognized events which will fall on May 17.

Highlights of the event include a Solidarity March, Solidarity Concert, Ecumenical Service and performances from various groups and artists. Celebrities who have confirmed their participation include Ms Rachel Alejandro, KZ Tandingan, Jonalyn Viray, John Lapuz, Marissa Sanchez, Sandino Martin, Rica Paras. Mayor Herbert Bautista will lead the candle lighting ceremony. There will be other surprise guests.

The IDAHOT represents an annual landmark to draw the attention of decision makers, the media, the public, opinion leaders and local authorities to the alarming situation faced by lesbian, gay, bisexuals, transgender and intersex people and all those who do not conform to majority sexual and gender forms.

The IACM serves as a community mobilization campaign to raise social consciousness about HIV and AIDS. With 33 million people living with HIV today, the IACM serves as an important intervention for global solidarity, breaking down barriers of stigma and discrimination, and giving hope to new generations.

I'm a frustrated artists. I almost enrolled in Fine Arts in college but my mother wanted me to take an Engineering course because she believed the latter course is more rewarding. You rarely see an artist's work shine as bright, popular and profitable only after his or her death. I was not in a position to disobey her so I followed her wish.

This is why I appreciate every opportunity to use my creativity in the arts and crafts. I never really got to pursue it since life becomes overwhelming once you start working on your chosen career. But the arts has an uncanny way of finding its way towards me since I'm often being requested to prepare Powerpoint slides and presentations which often requires creativity.
