Empowering Tomorrow: Teen Summit 2025 and the Power of Healthy Choices

On November 28, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:30 PM, young people from the community gathered at the 2nd Floor of the Guadalupe Barangay Hall for an inspiring and educational afternoon as part of Teen Summit 2025.

The seminar, “Empowering Teens: Making Healthy Life Choices,” focused on teen pregnancy prevention, reproductive health, and essential life skills—equipping adolescents with the knowledge, awareness, and confidence to make informed decisions that shape their future.

The event was made even more meaningful through the presence of guest speaker and sister Zontian, Dra. Chona Tremedal. Her wisdom, practical insights, and heartfelt guidance resonated deeply with the participants, encouraging them to value their well-being, make responsible choices, and strive for a brighter and healthier path ahead.

In solidarity with the UNiTE to End Violence Against Women Campaign, Zontians proudly wore ORANGE—the color designated by the UN Secretary-General to symbolize hope and a future free from violence against women and girls.

This Teen Summit forms part of Zonta Club Cebu II’s active participation in the global 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW), observed from November 25 to December 10 (or 12). Together, we continue to empower youth, raise awareness, and work toward building a safer, more informed, and violence-free community for all.
