𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐔𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 | Corruption affects everyone. Corruption is not just theft of money; it is theft of minds and lives. It inflicts invisible wounds, driving people into a state of helplessness, rage, and despair.

When public funds are plundered and justice is auctioned to the highest bidder, the result is a society drowning in anxiety and depression. Corruption robs communities of essential services, including mental healthcare, leaving the most vulnerable abandoned. Corruption does not simply weaken institutions; it poisons the collective soul of a nation, perpetuating a cycle of suffering that only truth, justice, and accountability can break.

Today, the 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻; Movement stands shoulder to shoulder with every organization, every community, and every voice that cries out for accountability and the end of corruption. Together, we declare: enough of this toxic cycle; justice, truth, and integrity must prevail.

𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇 | It is easy to feel insignificant, powerless, and helpless when you find yourself entrapped in a storm that is colossal, raging, and formidable. And sometimes, it is much easier to succumb, be engulfed, and be battered by the storm than to look for our way out.

Su***de has been a long-standing public health issue that affects a lot of individuals. The World Health Organization (2024) reported a figure of around 700,000 cases of death by su***de occurred globally, which is approximately one death per 40 seconds.

In the Philippines, the Philippine Statistics Authority recorded over 4,400 intentional self-harm cases. In the year 2021-2022, the Department of Education documented a staggering 404 deaths by su***de among students.

Su***de has no single cause; rather, it is the amalgamation of numerous factors such as genetics, environment, and life circumstances.

Hence, in celebration of Su***de Prevention Month, we, the 𝙿𝚊𝚍𝚊𝚢𝚘𝚗; Movement, are in solidarity with every person and organization in spreading the right information about su***de, hope, and a hand for people to hold onto.

Never be afraid to reach out and talk. There are always people who are willing to listen to your story.

Your story matters. As you are.

Su***de is a heartbreaking act where someone intentionally harms themselves with the purpose of ending their life (CDC, 2024). The factors that lead to su***de are deeply complex and varied, shaped by an interaction of cultural, biological, psychological, and environmental influences that affect individuals at different stages of their lives (WHO, 2024).

The World Health Organization highlights a sobering reality: over 720,000 people around the world lose their lives to su***de each year, making it the third leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 29, and with countless attempts (WHO, 2024).

In the Philippines, the situation is equally alarming, with su***de cases surging by 57.6% to 4,420 in 2020, a spike worsened by the challenges of the recent health pandemic (Balita, 2024).

Closer to home in Davao City, the Philippine Mental Health Association's Davao Chapter reported 53 cases in 2022, involving individuals ranging from 13 to 71 years old. Within just the first four months of 2023, 26 more cases were documented in this same age group, underscoring the ongoing mental health crisis (Espinosa, 2023).

Busa isip pag marka sa pag-sugod sa Su***de Prevention Month, gina dalit namo ang mga katawhan sa Lungsod sa Sta. Cruz nga maki-hiusa sa pagpataas ug pagpalapad sa kahibalo, magpasiugda ug bukas nga paghisgot, ug sa pagsuporta ang mga tawo nga posibleng naglisod.

Ang imong pakig-hiusa ug pagsabot mahimong maghatag ug kinabuhi nga gikinahanglan sa uban—magtinabangay ta aron mapugngan ang pagpatay sa kaugalingon ug maluwas ang kinabuhi.

“Dili ka OA, aduna kay gina-again ug naay andam maminaw kanimo”
