On Feb. 24 and March 6, The FOUNDATION FOR ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT (FAD), INC. ( Board Members- Karen Santos, Lizette Cojuangco, Tessa Siera and Rina Go )
shared the center stage of Teatrino, at the Greenhills Promenade, briefly with JON SANTOS, in a two and half minute video clip which featured the highlights of their twenty years of service dedicated to the development and care of the Filipino youth, anchored on Teen Value Formation.
Rina Go, Chairperson of the Foundation for Adolescent Development 
FAD is the pioneer behind Dial-A-Friend (1991); the first telephone hotline counseling for the youth and E-Mail-A-Friend, a more recent addition to our counseling services. TEENS HEALTHQUARTERS (THQ), a social franchising model, in partnership with LGUs, NGOs and academe, is a one stop youth friendly center offering information-education, counseling and select medical services.
Presently, there are 13 existing THQs found around the Philippines; in Quezon City, Marikina City, Valenzuela City, Dasmarinas, Cavite, Tarlac, Baguio City, Sagada in Mt. Province, Carmen, Talibon and Ubay in Bohol, Jasaan, Opol and Tagaloan in Misamis Oriental. FAD is also a major Resource Center working in tandem with international organizations and local NGOs in capacitating service providers by training the trainors, educating the educators on adolescent health, sexuality and development.
“Kuring,Gluring, Syerrap at Dyuning: Election is Nearing”, is the popular stand-up comedy wherein Jon Santos cleverly mixes political satire and wit with such a delicate balance, that he brought the house down from one personification to the next. At the end of the night, Jon successfully provides the audience with great comic relief and elevates their social consciousness to the importance of exercising their right to vote wisely in May.
The two Benefit Nights which were presented by Pioneer Insurance and Surety Corporation and Security Bank Corporation, and sponsored by Rustan’s Department Store, Stores Specialists Inc., Belo Medical Group, Directories Philippines Corporation, and Smart Communications, Inc. attracted Manila’s Best and Finest.
The Foundation needs your support to ensure the continuance of our services to the youth. For inquiries please contact Ms. Cecille Villa and Ms. Araceli Obmerga at these numbers:5250428/4001827
