On November 8, 2023, with the aim of creating safe spaces on campus through feminine care education, pH care Philippines and Edukasyon.ph, organized a forum for students about the topic of feminine care and personal hygiene at the Jaime Cardinal Sin Gymnasium. 

All students from Grades 6 to 12, as well as the teachers and personnel attended the event. The event was hosted by Cassandra Fang, Grade 11 Student of MCS, and Ms. Bea Javate, a content producer and Former UAAP Courtside Reporter.

The guests for the event were Dr. Issa Matibay, an OB-GYN doctor, and Julienne Ipapo, an influencer. They discussed and clarified the myths or facts statements during the menstrual cycle.

The opening prayer was led by Gea Ellehcim A. Santiago, Grade 9 student of MCS. The opening remarks were from Ms. Alena Perez, pH Care Product Associate, in which she encouraged everyone to learn, discuss, and share the care. 

Ms. Almhi Calma, the Sr. Project Manager Team Lead of Edukasyon.ph, gave an introduction and shared some insights about their STC Microsite. She mentioned that the event focuses on helping and empowering girls to be open on feminine hygiene care.

The question and answer portion, which was hosted by Ms. Alena Perez, answered a few questions of some of the students during the event, even including questions brought in by viewers online.

There was a  “Quizzified Raffle” where three students of MCS had been picked from the audience and were quizzed on what they've learned. They each won an item from pH care as a prize for their participation.

The attendees pledged to create safe space for women. Closing remarks were then made by the school’s nurse, Ms. Russel De Leon. A dance intermission number was performed by some of the members of the Malatean Movers and Cultural Guild. 

A photo opportunity with the teachers, hosts, and guests was conducted.
