Linya-Linya strengthens community-driven initiatives with launch of “Tulong-Tulong” at Linya-Linya Land 2023
Aside from showcasing music, comedy, and arts at the multi-format festival, the witty t-shirt and content creation company aims to provide a platform for their partner organizations to educate the public about their advocacies and cause.
Along with the country’s top musicians, comedians, and artists, Linya-Linya will be bringing its partner organizations to Linya-Linya Land 2023 where they will be given a space to inform and educate the public about their causes, get donations for their beneficiaries, and recruit volunteers for their projects.
Best known for its witty and punny Filipino lines on shirts and content, Linya-Linya has long been doing its part to put smiles on its partner organizations through “Tulong-Tulong,” a program for all of the brand’s outreach efforts. Currently, Linya-Linya partners with several organizations that cover advocacy on education, equality, and animal welfare, including: AHA! Learning Center, Angat Buhay Foundation, Mindanao Pride, Love Yourself PH, and Pawssion Project.
Through selling of select shirts and other merch, Linya-Linya is able to provide funds and awareness to help the said organizations. Linya-Linya’s Creative Director Ali Sangalang explains the importance of extending a helping hand to amplify the messaging of the cause. “Bilang mga Pilipinong humaharap sa iba’t ibang hamon sa panahon ngayon, mahalaga ang tulong. Pero ang totoo, mas malakas at mas epektibo kapag tulong-tulong tayo.”
Tulong-Tulong started at the height of the pandemic, during the time when frontliners and families-at-risk were in need of medical-grade supplies. To extend help, portions of the sales of selected Linya-Linya shirts were donated to Frontline Feeders PH, AHA! Learning Center, and Life Cycles PH.
With the success of this simple gesture to help the people in need amidst the pandemic, Linya-Linya strengthens the initiative by giving shirts to students, mothers, and teachers from AHA! Learning Center and helped in renovating the Angat Buhay Community Learning Hub in Area 17, UP Campus, Quezon City.

Apart from these, the shirt company will also be bringing Bantayog ng mga Bayani Foundation as a new partner– a non-stock, non-profit organization that aims to educate the Filipino nation and spread awareness in maintaining democracy, ensuring justice, and always in pursuit of truth.
Celebrating Filipino talent and supporting local artists has been a part of Linya-Linya’s advocacies. Alongside the celebration of these collaborations, attendees are up for a special treat as Linya-Linya launches new limited edition shirts in collaboration with “Bawat Daan” singer Ebe Dancel and the classic and iconic comic artist Pol Medina, Jr.

Linya-Linya Land 2023 will be happening on August 26, 2023 at 123 Block in Mandaluyong City. Presented by Linya-Linya and GNN Entertainment Productions, the annual event takes hilarious puns to an exciting new level with its showcase of multi-format headliners that aim to create an integrated experience for the community and the fans.
This year’s edition marks an impactful comeback with a lineup featuring some of the most notable names in music, comedy, and art. Filipino singer-songwriters and bands Ebe Dancel, Johnoy Danao, Nica Del Rosario, Cheats, Autotelic, and DJ Ayel lead the bill, alongside standup comedians Victor Anastacio, Nonong Ballinan, GB Labrador, James Caraan, and Jeleen Cubillas. Completing the non-performing headliners are some of the most acclaimed and established talents in Philippine art: Manix Abrera, Rob Cham, and Pol Medina Jr., whose work will be exhibited at the ‘art’ market; and muralists/illustrators Panch Alvarez and AG Saño, who will be bringing uniquely infused art experiences to life.

The MapĂşa edge in health sciences in Mindanao
MapĂşa Malayan Colleges Mindanao (MapĂşa MCM) establishes its mastery in health through its College of Health Sciences. Its programs include BS Biology, BS Psychology, BS Pharmacy, and BS Physical Therapy. Harmonizing its knowledge in healthcare and its strong reputation in tech and engineering, MAPĂšA MCM provides various opportunities to students through global learning, advanced research, and digital technology.
Davao City, Philippines – The Bureau of Labor and Statistics states that employment in the
healthcare field is projected to grow by 13% from 2021 to 2031. This increase
indicates the creation of 2 million jobs over a span of 10 years, much higher
than the average for all occupations. With this, students who wish to pursue a
career in the medical field have a plethora of options waiting for them locally
and abroad.
There are many routes one can take to
pursue a career in the medical field. One of them is health sciences, which
prepares them to take on a great variety of roles in both clinical and
non-clinical settings.
MapĂşa Malayan Colleges Mindanao (MapĂşa

Its programs include BS Biology, BS Psychology, BS Pharmacy, and BS Physical
Therapy. Harmonizing its knowledge in healthcare and its strong reputation in
tech and engineering, MAPĂšA MCM provides various opportunities to students
through global learning, advanced research, and digital technology.
MapĂşa MCM’s College of Health Sciences
has collaborated with Arizona State University (ASU) to prime the quality of
education it offers. Through this collaboration, MapĂşa MCM pre-med students are
honed to be globally ready, proficient with advanced and immersive facilities
and digital mastery.
Arizona State University (ASU) is
ranked #1 in the U.S. innovation ahead of MIT and Stanford for 8 consecutive
years by U.S.News and World Report. ASU is also among the top 1% of
universities worldwide, ranked by the Center for World University Ranking
2022-2023, and among the top 150 universities worldwide by the Shanghai
Ranking, 2022. The groundbreaking collaboration between MapĂşa schools and
Arizona State University focused on Business and Health Sciences
programs.
MAPĂšA MCM College of Health Sciences is
one of the few schools in the region that boasts of immersive simulation rooms
where students can work on 3D anatomical models, virtual dissection tables, and
human body projections via AI. These technologies allow them to have a
significant advantage in the field of health sciences and knowledge in tune
with the modern world.
But above and beyond technological innovations, MAPĂšA MCM College of Health Sciences ensures that their students are anchored on solid ethics and human values through hands-on experience and real-world exposure. Its students all undergo internships in hospitals, clinics, and community centers where they learn about promotion, prevention, treatment, and intervention as they get to interact with real patients.
The medical track is one of the most competitive fields to be in. But by choosing a program and institution that align with one’s personal goals, students can have a huge leg-up that will benefit them in the future.
"The medical field is an
ever-evolving industry, and the demand for healthcare workers is stronger now
than ever. We build our capacity to address this gap through a collaboration
with the Healthway network, wherein we streamline the career path of our students
— from school to internships and hands-on clinical rotations, straight to
career opportunities," said Dr. Adorico M. Aya-ay, Dean of the MAPĂšA MCM
College of Health Sciences.
MAPĂšA MCM also substantiates that its
faculty members stay updated with the latest advancements and industry trends
by sending them to training and seminars abroad to learn from experts
worldwide.
