In celebration of the Launching of World AIDS Day and Oplan Iwas Paputok, the Catbalogan City Health Department headed by Dr. Anna Sophia R. Lim with the full support of Mayor Dexter M. Uy, successfully conducted a Community Run on December 1, 2025, at the City Plaza, Catbalogan City. This activity was held in partnership with the Catbalogan City Fire Station โ€“ Samar led by F/SINSP Robert H. Espinola, Acting Fire Marshal.

This meaningful initiative brought together two major advocaciesโ€”firecracker safety awareness (Oplan Iwas Paputok) and HIV awareness and prevention (World AIDS Day)โ€”uniting the community in one impactful event.

Participants came from various agencies and groups including BJMP, Coast Guard, Runners Club of Catbalogan, JCI, CLEAU, and Barangay Officials showing strong support and solidarity for both advocacies.

Before the run participants enjoyed a lively Zumba warm-up, followed by the pinning ceremony led by Dr. Maria Monica Sison. A fun and exciting Torotot Challenge was also held to promote safe celebration practices this holiday season.

F/SINSP Robert H. Espinola shared the purpose and significance of the activity, while Sir Juniel Tagarino, Head of CDRRMO, delivered the closing remarks. Numerous awards and recognitions were given to participants adding excitement and motivation to the event.

We are truly overwhelmed and grateful for the active participation and enthusiasm of everyone who joined. Your presence made this celebration meaningful and successful. Together, we continue to champion safety, awareness and a healthier Catbalogan City.
