The World TB Day 2024 Celebration at the Quirino Grandstand breaking the world record for the “largest human lung formation”.
National Solidarity in the Fight Against TB Exemplified at the Record-
Breaking Human Lung Formation Activity
on World TB Day 2024
MANILA, Philippines — World TB Day 2024 took place at the Quirino Grandstand. Over 5,500 enthusiastic participants worked in unison to break India’s world record for the largest human lung formation in history during the celebration. The feat was achieved through community solidarity, commitment, and dedication, as everyone with one accord stated: “Tuloy ang bayanihan, TB ay tuldukan! Para Healthy Lungs, Pa-check ka Lungs!”
The event was celebrated by the Department of Health (DOH) in collaboration with and thanks to support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Family Health International 360, the World Health Organization (WHO) Philippines, the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP), Stop TB Partnerships, and other partners.
The aim of the celebration was to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social, and economic consequences of tuberculosis (TB) and ignite the flame of solidarity among partners and participants, emphasizing the collaborative effort required to combat TB. Mr. Joegene Mangilaya, a participant who survived multidrug-resistant TB (MDRTB), declared, “As a survivor, it’s time for us to speak and to support… I am an advocate for TB survivors in the Philippines and I’ve now gone from surviving to striving.”
The city government of Manila (where the event was held) expressed their solidarity in combating TB, a global health challenge affecting millions. Together with other partners, representatives pledged to help increase awareness, advocate for better healthcare access, and support research for improved treatment and prevention methods.
DOH Secretary, Teodoro Herbosa, said in his speech, “Nakita niyo hindi madali mag-attempt ng world record. Napaka-strikto ng rules at hindi natin ito magagawa kung hindi tayo magtutulong-tulong at magbayanihan. Ganun din sana ang mangyari para matuldukan natin ang TB.” He added, “Ang TB ay isang sakit na matagal nang nandirito sa ating bayan at kaya naman gamutin sa proseso ng pag-test ng x-ray, ng molecular test at mga gamot. Available po yan at binibili ng Department of Health at ng Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas. Isa ito sa mga inutos ng ating presidente na ayusin natin: ang problema ng TB sa Pilipinas.”
World TB Day, observed on March 24, serves as an opportunity to mobilize efforts from different sectors in addressing the disease and supporting TB survivors as well as at-risk populations. With the running theme of “Urgent, Collective Action to Save Lives” this year’s event in Manila also carried the reminder “Ituloy ang Bayanihan! TB ay Tuldukan!” to build on the milestones gained post-COVID-19 pandemic.
“For the past two weeks, people from almost 100 countries were here in Manila engaged by Stop TB Partnership to show the great work done by the world, people in the Department of Health, PhilCAT and all the TB-related organizations here,” shared Dr. Lucica Ditiu, Executive Director of the Stop TB Partnership.
She added, “I want to thank everyone that came at 4 a.m. today and stayed here with us. You did it for the country. You did it for your people. You did it for the people with TB to show that TB exists and TB kills people, but there is no shame, no stigma in having TB. From the Stop TB Partnership in Geneva, thank you.”
The human lung formation was made up of 5,596 people in total. This surpassed the previous 2017 record of 5,003 people in India. The activity served as a powerful visual representation of the importance of lung health and the urgent need to eradicate TB not just in the Philippines, but in the world.
USAID Office of Health Director, Andrea Halverson, said, “Thank you for being a part of history today. USAID is proud to stand together with you, with our friends in the Department of Health, with our partners, friends, and allies on stage with us today to say together, yes, we can end TB! Tuloy ang bayanihan, TB ay tuldukan!”
Representatives from various groups were in attendance to show support for the campaign. These included: The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Fund Portfolio Manager Mr. Mark Saalfeld; FHI360 Chief of Party Dr. Soliman Guirgis; Metro Manila Center for Health Development Regional Director Dr. Rio Magpantay; Manila City Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan; WHO Representatives Dr. Rui De Jesus and Dr. Graham Perry Harrison; Stop TB Partnership Executive Director Dr. Lucica Ditiu; PhilCAT Chair, Dr. Janice Caoili; Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) Executive Director, Mr. Elvin Uy; USAID Office for Health Director, Ms. Andrea Halverson; DOH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa; and DILG Assistant Secretary for International Relations Ms. Lilian De Leon.
The spirit of solidarity demonstrated at this year’s national celebration of World TB Day serves to inspire communities not just in the Philippines but worldwide to unite in the fight against TB to ensure a healthier, TB-free future for all.
Bradley Simpson has released his highly anticipated debut single “Cry At The Moon”- available everywhere today via Insanity UK and Sony Music Entertainment.
“Cry At The Moon” was cowritten by Bradley, Andrew Wells, Anthony Rossomando, and Jordan Asher Cruz aka “BOOTS”.
“Cry At The Moon started in LA early on in the writing process for the album with Anthony and Andrew. I knew I wanted to draw on influences I grew up on, we spent the first 2 hours of the session listening through bands we loved, lots of Queens of the Stone Age and Raconteurs. As the melody for the chorus came together, we built around that. It was exactly how I wanted to move forward with the sound of the album, and itopened the writing process for me. CATM became the catalyst for that sound as it went on a bit of a journey. I met Boots a few months after, and we decided to do the entire album together. We went back in on CATM, made some tweaks to really pull it in line with the rest of the album as CATM always felt like the song to introduce everyone into the world with, I genuinely can’t wait to play it live!”
Watch theWiz directed music video for “Cry At The Moon” HERE.
Bradley, best known for his role as singer, songwriter, and front man of British band The Vamps, commands a massive fanbase, already with multiple chart-topping albums in the UK. At just 28, Bradley’s transition from band front man to solo artist is driven by his personal song collection, signaling an exciting new chapter in his career.
Bradley will preview songs from the upcoming album and make his solo performance debut of “Cry At The Moon” on a sold-out run of headline shows this Spring in the UK, Europe, New York and Los Angeles.
Bradley is currently working his debut album to be released soon.

P-Pop star Josh Cullen and prolific rapper Al James come together in “Yoko Na,” their collaborative new single released under Sony Music Entertainment.
Lyrics-wise, “Yoko Na” expresses the words left unsaid in the middle of a relationship fallout. It acknowledges how a kind of love that was once full of life and promises could suddenly fall apart even after trying one’s best to stick it out until the very end.
The song bears the hallmarks of a summer anthem, thanks to its infectious rap verses from both artists, an inescapable chorus, and a vibrant arrangement that blends modern hip-hop and R&B sensibilities with emotional flair.
Brian Lotho, who co-produced the track with Josh, captures the essence of the lyrics with steely defiance, adding an extra layer of authenticity by injecting unique elements such as the sound of bottles shattering, tables flipping, and other little sonic details that evoke irreparable brokenness.
“Well, Yoko Na is like the product of a soul-baring session with my producer, Brian Lotho,” Josh Cullen explains. “For this particular jam, we traded cliched love stories with messy, real-life situations that ordinary people encounter on a daily basis: the frustrations and struggles from past relationships, and somehow confronted it with a more mature take. It’s a song that’s raw, honest, and straight from the heart.”
The partnership came to fruition after realizing that Al James’ style of laid-back rapping somehow fits the demo that Brian and Josh have been working on for months. Josh admits that he mustered the courage to ask the viral hitmaker to be part of the track despite the short notice. Luckily, Al James said yes and sent his verse a few days ahead of the deadline.
When asked about how Al James is as a collaborator, he said nothing but praise for the Pa-umaga act.
“He’s very chill. He submitted the reworked track ahead of time and recorded his parts in less than an hour. I really admire his level of professionalism. After that, we just bonded instantly and went on a food trip.”
Josh Cullen and Al James’ “Yoko Na” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
