While a central ceremony will be held at the San Lazaro Hospital Dome at 4:00 PM, the Council is encouraging organizations nationwide to host their own simultaneous events, including testing drives, educational forums, and digital advocacy campaigns.

To help spread the word, a toolkit of promotional materials is available for public use. Participants are also requested to document their local efforts and submit reports to the PNAC Secretariat, as these milestones will be showcased during the 23rd PNAC Plenary to celebrate our collective impact.
