Starting next year, the Department of Health (DOH) will distribute condoms in schools.

It is as part of "business unusual" strategy of the DOH in the midst of ever-increasing number of HIV-AIDS cases among young people.

According to Secretary Paulyn Ubial, after introducing the strategy to Department of Education (DepEd) and after undergoing counseling they will immediately distribute the condoms.

Schools, authorities, teachers, principals and even the healthcare providers should be ready for the steps that will be given by the said department.
