First Place Winner Rafael Manzano II

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

16 JANUARY 2013

Safe sex. Premarital sex. HIV/AIDS. These are only some of the big sexual health questions young people in the Philippine are facing. Through Mulat Pinoy, young Filipinos are able to share their concerns and reach out to the rest of the population.

The “Sexual Health: Shout or Shush?” video contest was organized to encourage young Filipinos to speak their thoughts about anything and everything related to sexual health. In October 2012, over twenty young Pinoys sent in their videos and shared their questions, feelings and worries. In January 2013, over 5000 people voted for the winners on Facebook and YouTube.

Online voting has now ended.
