The municipal government of La Trinidad concluded its community-based celebration of Men's Day on June 19 and 26, 2026 in barangays Alno and Shilan.

Seeking to promote health, wellness, and overall well-being, 80 males of all ages gathered for a lecture on Breaking the Stigma on Men's Mental Health, which encouraged participants to openly discuss concerns, seek help, and foster a culture of support among one another.

To promote holistic health, participants also availed of various free health and wellness services, including:

• YAKAP Empanelment

• Health Risk Assessment

• Nutrition Counseling and BMI Assessment

• Laboratory Services (Blood Glucose, Uric Acid, Cholesterol, and Urinalysis)

• HIV Screening

• Eye Screening

• Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Testing

• Free Haircuts

• Massage Services

Mayor Roderick Awingan encouraged participants not to be afraid of reaching out for medical help or mental health support, emphasizing that taking care of one's health is a strength, not a weakness.

Councilor Horacio Ramos Jr., committee chair on health, added that bringing these vital medical and psychological services directly to the grassroots ensures that no man is left behind.

The activity emphasized the importance of prioritizing both physical and mental health while encouraging men to become active partners in building healthier families, stronger communities, and a more productive town.

Ordinance No. 4-2021 also known as the La Trinidad Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Code supports the annual observance of Men's Day.
