Last March 5 to 9, 2026, a total of 980 high school students from Grades 11 and 12 were the beneficiary of the five (5) days lenten conference on the title, “Theology of the Body”. The 980 students were divided into five groups. They were all recipients of the same topics. These include; “The Beginning of Human Life”, “The Stages of Sexual Development”, “The Sanctity of Life and the Sacredness of Life” and “The Dangers of Social Media and AI”. 

The lone speaker of the events was Dr. Rene Josef Bullecer, the FIAMC Commissioner for Asia and the National Vice President of the National Council of the Laity of the Philippines. Dr. Bullecer presented the topics in a holistic manner wherein the scientific, moral and spiritual components were molded together and made part of every talk.

Ample time for an open forum was also provided for the students to give and present their views and ask questions.The venue of the event was at the Immaculate of Mary Seminatry in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines.

Each day, the conference ended with confessions and Holy Mass.  The main objective of the series of talks was to equip the young people with the most basic knowledge on life, and their sexuality and to become responsible Catholic adults who grow side-by-side with their faith.Also to transform their young minds and hearts into committed pro-life warriors and responsible professionals ready to stand up against the prevailing “cultures of death” .

Today, there are 19.8 million Filipino youth between the ages of 15 to 24.
