To recall, the Imus LGU also began their free house-to-house HIV testing last April 26, where residents no longer have to go to health centers to undergo testing.

City Mayor Emmanuel Maliksi encouraged Imusenos to join their advocacy for reproductive health and wellness.

“Ang kalusugan ay kayamanan at kabilang diyan ang inyong reproductive health, kaya’t huwag po natin itong pababayaan,” he said in a Facebook post.
