Under the dynamic leadership of United Chosen President Jay-R Ipac, the Rotary Club of Manila Supreme 198 successfully held "UNITE FOR YOUTH: Your Health, Your Power – A Forum on Reproductive and Adolescent Well-being", an empowering event dedicated to educating and uplifting the youth through vital discussions on health and personal development.

Dr. Mary Angeli A. Conti-Lopez addressed the topic “Teen Pregnancy Awareness: Making Informed Life Decisions,” providing students with critical information about the social, emotional, and health-related consequences of teenage pregnancy. Her talk emphasized the importance of responsible decision-making and access to accurate reproductive health education.
Dr. Natasha Ann R. Esteban-Ipac delivered an enlightening presentation on “Informed and Empowered: A Talk on Adolescent Wellness,” which highlighted holistic well-being—including mental health, self-esteem, and the importance of making informed lifestyle choices during adolescence.
Held at Manila High School in the historic district of Intramuros, the event reached 65 students and 15 teachers, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for open dialogue and learning. This initiative is a testament to the club’s commitment to empowering the next generation with knowledge, confidence, and a sense of responsibility in managing their health and future.
