For decades, leprosy was misunderstood.

For decades, leprosy was misunderstood. Its stigma isolates lives more painfully than the disease itself.

In Culion, this history reminds us why compassion must always guide public health and social action.

Today, the Culion Foundation Inc. continues to champion truth, healing, and human dignity.

Leprosy is 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. The real challenge is stigma.

Together, let us destroy stigma and build a future rooted in understanding, respect, and inclusion.
