The Culion Foundation Inc. proudly partnered in this yearโ€™s Bigay Puso 2026, held on February 11, 2026, at Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium, with the powerful theme: โ€œ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ: ๐˜Œ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜บ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข.โ€ The program placed a spotlight on the lived experiences of Persons Affected by Leprosy (PAL), shared through the member institutions of the Philippine Dermatological Society. Inspiring messages from partner organizations reinforced a united call to end stigma and discrimination. The event concluded with a meaningful opportunity to connect and interact with PALs in the hospitalโ€™s custodian wardโ€”reminding us that, beyond treatment, compassion and inclusion are essential to true healing.
