2025 Yuletide Show

The 2025 Yuletide Musical was another huge success. Entitled “You Heal What You Feel”, it spoke to the need of people in rehab to be open and transparent so that healing and recovery can transpire. The three presentations were all SRO affairs. The first on December 11 was a Special Preview for the extended SELF Family including some graduates and people in the surrounding community. Dangerous Drugs Board Chairman Secretary Oscar Valenzuela was the Guest of Honor and he brought along a busload of his staff. The staff of the Department of Health Treatment and Rehabilitation Center in Calabarzon as well as the staff and residents of My Brothers Keeper rehab also attended. The other two show dates on December 13 and 14 were packed with families of the residents who came in force to show their support. Everyone agreed that this year’s show was one of if not the best ever.

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) chose SELF as one of the awardees of its Inaugural Ablaze Awards that honors partners and stakeholders who illuminate the path forward and demonstrate that upholding human rights in a systemic and sustainable manner is attainable.

Specifically, the Commission recognized SELF’s “exceptional contributions in advancing sustainability and innovation on therapeutic custody, including the successful transition away from traditional punitive Therapeutic Community models and the integration of healing modalities such as theater and dance therapy, that set a gold standard in the prevention of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment through rehabilitation and compassionate care.”

Founder and President Martin Infante received the award at ceremonies held on December 10, 2025 at the CHR Headquarters in Diliman, Quezon City. He was accompanied by COO Sockie Averilla and Facility Director Aldo Infante. Also in the photo is Dominique Ladrido, Founder and President of My Brother’s Keeper rehab.

TREE OF SOBRIETY

The traditional planting of the Tree of Sobriety was held on Friday morning, October 24, a day before graduation, by the Batch 2025 Candidates with Upper House Assistant Director Patrick Gallardo as moderator.
This year a big change was introduced. Whereas in the past each candidate had a tree to plant, this time all the candidates would plant a single tree.
Chosen was the sapling of a Yakal Saplungan, an endangered species of hardwood endemic to the Philippines. Known for its strength and resilience, it was a fitting symbol of the candidates and their commitment to nurture their recovery.

SPIRITUAL RECOLLECTION

Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD held a spiritual recollection and celebrated Holy Mass at the Sacred Heart Auditorium (SHA) in SELF’s Taal View House Facility on October 7. The entire community — residents, staff and officers — attended the activity made possible through the kind efforts of FAM members Bob and Joyce Francisco.
The recollection formed part of the run-up to the 29th Graduation Exercises on October 25. It centered on maintaining an optimistic appraisal of life despite inevitable tribulations and complemented the drive of the TC program.
An avid believer in hope and healing, Fr. Jerry brought with him the bone relic of St. Ezekiel Moreno to whom he attributes his miraculous recovery from cancer. He also gave out scapulars.
