Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso has signed City Ordinance No. 9179, which reconstitutes and strengthens the city’s HIV-AIDS Response Council to expand prevention, testing, treatment, and support services.
The ordinance, approved by the 13th City Council, aims to ensure a more coordinated and proactive approach to addressing HIV, AIDS, and other sexually transmitted infections in the city.
It also calls for intensified information and education campaigns, particularly targeting vulnerable groups and the youth.
City officials said the measure is part of Manila’s broader effort to protect public health and uphold the rights and dignity of residents.
The signing coincided with Manila Summer Pride 2026, where Mayor Isko also reaffirmed the city’s commitment to inclusion and support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
