From "low and slow," the HIV-AIDS problem in the Philippines is now characterized as "hidden and growing." The cost of diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up is still too exorbitant for ordinary Filipinos. The time to band together to stop the looming threat of HIV-AIDS is now.

Support The Philippine Red Party Project, a benefit concert for the HIV-AIDS patients being taken care of by the Infectious Diseases Section of the UP-Philippine General Hospital, to be held at the San Miguel by the Bay of the SM Mall of Asia on Saturday, September 5, 2009, 7pm.


Tickets are at P200 each. Leave a comment or email me for ticket reservations.
