First-ever #SaferNowPH Summit rallies to flatten the HIV curve

Wazzup Pilipinas!

HIV advocacy groups, international experts, and global supporters will converge online on December 2-4 for the "#SaferNowPH Summit 2020: Flattening the HIV Curve" to celebrate World AIDS Day (WAD) 2020.

The Summit is an online conference to promote innovations in the HIV combination prevention strategy and share the advocacy to the global audience as a part of the community's overall efforts for the WAD 2020 as we all march towards ending AIDS by 2030. To attend the Summit, register for free on this link: bit.ly/SaferNowPHSummit.

Each day has a theme to create a conversation in advancing HIV prevention at varying levels, looking closely at this epidemic as a public health concern and demedicalizing it. On December 2, the Summit will focus on how we can "Dare to Change the International Perspective on HIV." International experts will dare to present innovative strategies in dealing with HIV like the status neutral approach, chemsex and its relation to HIV, and the pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV.

For December 3, the Summit will tackle the evolving continuum of HIV care through "Care for the Local Community." Government authorities and social experts who cared for the Philippine development on HIV will discuss the new treatment drug (Dolutegravir), compassion for PLHIV, and HIV amidst COVID-19.

The Summit will conclude on December 4 with concrete ways to "Share the Advocacy with Our Communities." Celebrity guest speakers and ambassadors will share insights about HIV and mental health, being an ally for the community, social responsibility, and advocacy support.

Tiffany Uy continues to impress us

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Jomel Garcia Lapides of University of the Philippines Manila tops the Nov 2020 Physician Licensure Exams.

But that's not the real news. My girl, Tiffany is trending again as she should.

How can people feed me that "life is fair, because we have our own strengths and weaknesses" bullcrap narrative, when people like Tiffany Uy exists???? Huh???

Tiffany Uy, who made news in 2015 for graduating Summa Cum Laude in UP with the highest average since World War II, is also among the topnotchers.  

Pinagmukha na naman sa atin ni Tiffany Uy kung gaano tayo kabobo. Pero anyways congrats to all the new doctors.

Nung nagpaulan siguro ng katalinuhan si Lord, nasa kalsada si Tiffany Uy, tapos sinalo niya lahat at lumalangoy pa. Grabe! Pahingi naman ng kahit konting brain cells lang please.

Gusto ko malaman ano ba meron kay Tiffany Uy at bakit ba mahal na mahal siya ng Diyos at penge naman ng swerte sis.

Gurl, what is her deal? Bakit ang mamaw niya?

Gurl malay baka kinakain niya ata Harrison’s? Baka siya yata author ng Katzung? Siya yata naka discover ng brain? We’ll never know.

Mayhaps, ginawa niyang snack ang Guyton and Schwartz,,,,, magawa nga,,,,

Tiffany Uy, ano pong inuming tubig niyo sa bahay? Wilkins? Absolute? SM bonus? Maynilad?

Tipong tubig sa Magat dam lumilinis pag dumidikit sa kanya huhuhuhu.

Grabe Dra. Tiffany Uy really keeps on winning in life!! Sana all!

Again, Tiffany Uy graduated from UP with the highest GWA in recent history, finished magna cum laude and valedictorian of UP med, and now came out as top 5 in the physician's licensure exam. HER MIND.

Tiffany Uy, Kween of Stethoscope, heal us.

Tiffany Uy, Mitochondrion Princess, power us.

In saint Tiffany Uy's name, we pray. 

Tiffany Uy should be canonized as early as now to be the modern patron of Academics. 

Charot.

Seriously, though being on the top 5 is already a big accomplishment, we now know she is not that perfect for not being the first placer, or did she planned it so she'll remove all concerns or rumors she's an alien with high intelligence. Lol!

If ever I get sick, I'm getting Tiffany Uy even if it costs me all of my money.

I swear Tiffany Uy has her own fandom since she graduated in her undergrad.

And we’re here for it.

Napakahusay talaga ni Tiffany Uy. Her parents must be so proud. 

Crush ko na rin talaga si Tiffany Uy, now and ever since. Makikita mo sobra yung passion niya kapag nagsasalita.

Ayaw paawat, Tiffany Uy? Lahat na lang tinatop niya. 

Bruhh I thought it was just a random myth that people who got head injuries ended up to become genius but here comes Tiffany Uy proving it.

For sure may social life pa yan at 8 hours tulog.

Napaka-unfair po ng universe haha. Chae Song Hwa is real and it's Tiffany Uy. 

Congratulations to all who passed the licensure examinations!!! 

Congratulations, mga doktor ng bayan! proud kami sa inyo!  

AND TO US, WHO ARE STILL DREAMING & FIGHTING, KAYA DIN NATIN ITO! SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY. 

May the blessed brain cells of Tiffany Uy be with you all. 

Brain cells be with you. 

UP students and faculty declare their commitment to fight to end the semester and the tyranny

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Most of all, to end the semester is to prove that beyond plain brilliance, UP is still human."

Sometimes ending things is the healthiest decision to make.

UP STRIKES BACK. 

UP students and faculty declare their commitment to fight to end the semester and the tyranny of Pres. Duterte. Iskolar ng Bayan, ngayon ay lumalaban!

"Pushing ourselves to comply with the academic requirements also means putting our mental health at risk. We need time to heal."

End the semester now UP, and plan for a safe university opening next sem! Clearly, online learning is only for the privileged. "Self-paced" learning is just a made-up term to cover up for the flawed and ineffective system.

Please do not forget that we are still in the midst of a pandemic. Parents of some students may have lost their jobs. 

Meanwhile, students and their families from Cagayan, Bicol Region, and other places affected by typhoons are still recovering.

Burnout from trying to keep up with online classes and fucktons of deadlines while suffering from typhoon casualties and pandemic anxiety is not laziness.

The system is broken. and in turn, it broke your students and your faculties. We're all trying to make it work but your fixes aren't working. Make your move and end the sem now. 

Well, if this creative laziness shows compassion and understanding to everyone's situation, I don't mind being called lazy.

UP students, faculty and staff: tired from trying to find creative ways to compromise in this impossible set up.

UP BOR: is this creative laziness?

Heed your students' calls. It's not laziness. Even your faculty find it hard.

If there are a few who are really lazy, will you really let those who are actually struggling to be left behind just to spite those who are lazy?

How about you? Are you ready to be called heartless? 

If you really want that 'world rankings' and have that 'honor and excellence', listen to your constituents.

Uncover your ears and hear our plea. We're tired and restless, UP.

Many entered UP with high chin kasi HELLO University of the Philippines na to teh! Pero I am nothing but embarrassed on how UP can often times be anti-student and detached from struggles of its constituents. Top university pero walang pake. Embarrassing!

End the sem is not an end to learning! CONTEND UP will be holding public lectures while on strike.

Silid-aralan ang lansangan, guro ang masa!

Hindi kailangan ng students ng surface-level compassion. Reading break?? Recovery period ??? THEY WANT A CONCRETE SOLUTION. 

Many are demanding for quality education for ALL, and that can't be achieved in this setup. 

THEY ARE  TIRED!

and are barely surviving this setup.

No matter how hard they try to be optimistic, telling themselves "I can do this," it's just not working. Can't you see

It's unfair that during a pandemic and after two super typhoons, we're still continuing the sem; hindi pa kasama diyan yung fact na mababa ang kalidad ng internet connection dito. This isn't a level playing field!

We should be at the forefront of this fight for the welfare of the students and professors affected by the government's lacking response to the coronavirus outbreak and consecutive natural disasters. 

Sobrang overworked na ng mga estudyante. This is not education anymore, this is now prolonged suffering. 

The current mode of learning isn’t inclusive. This can be seen in the number of students who opted to drop out and file LOAs. The demand is to adjust the curriculum in consideration of the different situations of the student body.

At this point, we urge the administration to act now and prove that UP’s mandate is to really serve the people. 

Kung talagang layunin ng UP na pagsilbihan ang sambayanan, dapat panindigan ito ng admin sa pamamagitan ng pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng mga estudyante. 

As of November 19, 12:00 NN, There are 861 signatures to end the semester and pass all students. Signatories include: students, faculty members, and alumni.

DR: Ito ang pinakamakataong option. 

Iya Trinidad of ACS-UPB lauds the UP administration for granting the academic break, but it is not enough.

Simula pa lang, alam na natin na libo-libong kabataan ang naiwan sa online learning. Dapat mas tumindig tayo at maging mas compassionate. 

Wala tayong pagkukulang sa panawagan. Now it is high time for us to pressure the administration to heed our calls. 

I'm lost of words but I just know that students are not learning anymore and I think I can speak for iskos and iskas, especially for those who have worst and more pressing situations. End The Sem.

Wazzup Pilipinas stands in solidarity with the UP community in the call for mass promotion and to end the semester now. One student left behind is one too many!
