The Official I Am Strong-
I Keep Love Real Website
IKeepLoveReal.Blogspot.com is an unofficial site of IKeepLoveReal.com
I Keep Love Real (IKLR) is a campaign for a deeper understanding of the
meaning of love, relationships, and sexuality.
KEEP is respecting the nobility of affection and love.
LOVE refers to courtship, romance, and relationships between men and women with eyes towards friendship and marriage.
REAL is a quality of love that leads to respecting the dignity of the other person, waiting for marriage for love’s full expression,
and making it last despite trials.
The first person pronoun "i" makes keeping love real a personal decision not an imposition from the outside.
We think that… The campaign vision is realized through the projects of IAS-iKLR and the iKLR International network.
Projects
Talk
Interactive talks given by ates and kuyas to high school and college students,
with no-holds-barred conversation on real issues about love, relationships, and sexuality.
Mobile Booth
iKLR hopes to build its name by creating familiarity with the youth through the setting up of booths in school-organized activities (e.g. fairs and variety shows)
Music Video
From the winners of the 2007 I Keep Love Real Song-writing Competition, iKLR will launch a music video for the song that best captures the message of the campaign.
Lifestyle Merchandise
Lifestyle merchandise such as baller bands, vintage necklaces, and dog tags are promoted as an expression of one’s personal commitment to keep love real.
Ad Campaign
To reach the mainstream youth audience, promotions through television, radio, and print shall be carried out.
Photography Competition
The idea of the competition is for the youth to see and appreciate the true meaning of love in the dynamics of everyday human interaction.
Using camera-enabled mobile phones, participants of the competition are to capture creative, appropriate, and meaningful images that best portray the message of iKLR.
Scriptwriting Competition and TV Special
Similar to the Photography Competition, iKLR hopes to engage the youth in discovering and promoting a kind of love that respects and nurtures, by means of a scriptwriting competition. The winning story will be presented to interested media partners for portrayal in appropriate television shows, to be launched the following year.
Real Love Revolution Southeast Asian Youth Congress
Youth representatives from the Southeast Asian nations will be invited to the Philippines for a congress on real love revolution. Unity is fostered among these neighboring nations to uphold values strongly rooted in the Asian psyche.
Publications
Keep Love Real
Authored by Lora Tan-Garcia, Keep Love Real is a spritely read on love and chastity.
In Lora’s words, “Chastity isn’t about what you can’t have and can’t do. It’s so much
bigger and more triumphant than that. It’s actually having the life you’ve always wanted
but perhaps didn’t think you could achieve through chastity...”
Congress Executive Report with Research
The 2nd International Congress on Education in Love, Sex, and Life produced rich resource
materials on character education: from experts worldwide and from a research study involving
4,000 Filipino colleges.
Modules
Based on experiences and data gathered from seminars, I Am S.T.R.O.N.G. and
I Keep Love Real syllabi, modules, lesson plans, and other materials have been
written to help the Department of Education, teachers, and administrators replicate
the same program in their schools and classrooms. As they have been written in straightforward
language, using a clear, logical format, these works have also been distributed to selected students
and seminar participants.

love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account
a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with
the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
