The launch event kicked off with Miss Mela Habijan, a host and LGBTQIA+ advocate, as moderator, followed by an inspiring opening remark from Denise R. van Dijk, CEO and President of DKT Health Inc. “The new Trust RH Choices website is not just a source of information; it’s a safe space for individuals to learn, ask questions and explore reproductive health topics free from judgment,” van Dijk said. A short video presentation was presented afterward, providing an in-depth overview and guide to the mobile-friendly website.

Dr. Rica Cruz, a prominent sex and relationships therapist and educator, was the keynote speaker at the event. Her presentation revolved around pressing reproductive health issues faced by Filipinos, particularly the country’s high teenage pregnancy rate, the rate of traditional contraceptive method users, and the continuously increasing HIV cases in the Philippines. Additionally, she highlighted the critical role of trustworthy and comprehensive platforms in reducing stigma and ensuring that individuals, especially the youth, have access to the information they need to make better choices. “Investing in reproductive health education helps people and enables them to thrive. It’s not about encouraging sexual activity, but rather empowering them through continuous development without judgment,” she remarked. As the country’s largest provider of contraceptives, the launch of the new Trust website reinforces the social enterprise’s ongoing mission to promote reproductive health literacy in the Philippines and drive positive social impact to communities in need.
