Vision

To create a Philippine society where male sexual health is openly understood, free from stigma and shame, and where young Filipino men feel empowered to view erectile difficulties not as a measure of masculinity, but as a normal and manageable aspect of overall well-being.

Mission

To normalize conversations around situational and temporary erectile dysfunction among young Filipino males by delivering culturally sensitive, research-based, and visually engaging communication that educates, challenges harmful stereotypes, and promotes emotional awareness, healthy lifestyles, and supportive relationships.

It is a multi-sector awareness and referral campaign initiated by a youth-centered sexual wellness advocacy group in partnership with healthcare institutions.

UPLIFTED in the words of those who experienced it.

  • “Honestly, akala ko ako lang yung ganito. I used to avoid talking about it kahit sa partner ko. Pero when I found UPLIFTED, parang biglang nagkaroon ng space where I could understand what’s really happening. Ngayon, mas open, and mas okay na kami ng partner ko.”

  • UPLIFTED changed how I see myself. Dati kasi I felt less of a man whenever I struggled with it. Pero nung nakita ko yung content and stories, I felt validated. Parang, okay lang pala to talk about it.
