The Culion Foundation Inc. proudly partnered in this year’s Bigay Puso 2026, held on February 11, 2026, at Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium, with the powerful theme: “𝘉𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘦: 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘮𝘢.” 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 hospital’s custodian ward—reminding us that, beyond treatment, compassion and inclusion are essential to true healing.
