This is how we explain from an individual accessing HIV basis services both in Government and Non-Government Organizations. HIV Screening is the only way on how we know our status on the matter of HIV. Testing yourself for HIV is important for your health, your relationships, your life and your future. And because of that, the Olympus Society of Davao Community Center is catering Free and Confidential HIV Counseling and Screening. This is to acknowledge Mr. Andrew Topinio, who sent this video for infomercial purpose/s on his experience when getting screened in our Center.

THE Olympus Society of Davao was recognized as the most outstanding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) organization for 2018 in Davao City for advocating against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The organization was awarded by the city government of Davao through Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio on Tuesday, December 18, at the SMX Convention Center, Lanang.
“We owe this [award] to each individual who believed in our capacity in the last four years,” Olympus president Oscar Obenza said, adding that they will continue to work together for the progress and development of the LGBT community and the city.
“Siguro dahil we are Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered and other related important documents like child safe guarding policy, manual operating procedure, etc.” Obenza said in an interview with SunStar Davao Wednesday, December 19.
He also said that they have proper documentation of their events and activities as well as a community center and services that cater not only their members.
He added, "we have dedicated volunteers who are willing give their time for the community.”
The 8th LGBT Davao’s yearend gathering event organizer Wadab Babao reported that there are 82 active LGBT organizations in the city.
Meanwhile, Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) commissioner Norman Baloro said that the event was a positive development for the city.
“This is a development wherein tolerance bridges acceptance though we are not politically recognized but we are culturally celebrated through having these programs,” Baloro said in a phone interview Wednesday.
"This is not just merely a celebration. This is not just a party but a year-end gathering where we can speak, voice out our experiences as LGBT,” he added.
We would like to extend this award to all volunteer members of #OSD who contributed to the success of 2018.
We are not a perfect organization but still when we are working as a team, we achieved such exemplary performance.
To the City Government of Davao headed by our beloved City Mayor Inday Sara Zimmerman Duterte and Commissioner Norman Brillantes Baloro, thank you for the chance to be part of this one of a kind recognition. We will continue what we've started, develop and implement the plans and we will sustain what we are doing.
For and in behalf of the Members of the Olympus Society of Davao Inc., we, dedicate this recognition to the hand of the people who helped and support of the our Organization.
Mabuhay ang LGBT Davao City Coalition.
