Kapihan sa Liceo Opens with Health Talk on Hypertension

Through the initiative of the Office of the Vice President for Human Resources, Liceo de Cagayan University launched Kapihan sa Liceo today, September 26, 2025, at EAC Room 201. This new health and wellness program is designed for employees, providing a relaxed space to step away from work, enjoy a cup of coffee, and engage in meaningful conversations that nurture both personal and professional growth.

The first session featured the talk “High Blood, High Risk: Understanding and Preventing Hypertension” delivered by Dr. Oona C. Aguilar, Practicing Family Medicine Physician, Mental Health Practitioner, and University Physician. Known as the “silent disease,” hypertension affects millions of Filipinos, often without noticeable symptoms. Dr. Aguilar shared valuable insights and practical tips on recognizing and managing this condition.

Through initiatives like Kapihan sa Liceo, the University, guided by the VP for Human Resources, continues to champion the well-being of its employees, promoting a healthier and more balanced workplace community.
