“The Gender and Development Program of LGU Kalibo brought energy, passion, and a powerful call for change to our quadrangle through their flash mob performance. As part of One Billion Rising 2025: Rise for Freedom, their dance served as a strong reminder that we must continue to stand against all forms of discrimination and violence—toward women, girls, and all individuals affected by violence—both in Kalibo and across the world.

STI College Kalibo is proud to be in full support of this global movement, standing in solidarity with those who fight for justice, equality, and freedom.

We are honored to receive a Certificate of Appreciation from Atty. Christine I. Candelario-Dela Cruz on behalf of Honorable Mayor Juris B. Sucro, recognizing our commitment to this advocacy. This acknowledgment strengthens our dedication to championing freedom, respect, and dignity for all.

A heartfelt thank you to LGU Kalibo for sharing this inspiring performance with our community and to everyone who took the time to watch, reflect, and rise with us. Change begins with awareness, but it thrives through action. Let’s not just stand in support—let’s be part of the movement that breaks the cycle of violence and paves the way for a world built on freedom, respect, and dignity.” – STI College Kalibo
