Rooted in rising reports of gender-based violence and persistent gaps in Philippine sex education, this study investigated whether a mobile-first, culturally attuned consent campaign could improve young couples’ knowledge and behaviours. Partnering with Hara Clinic, a Pasig-based sexual-health provider, the project delivered “ConSensual,” an Android application reinforced by social-media creatives and an activation booth in Manila. The study sought to (1) design an accessible, stigma-free learning tool on sexual consent; (2) measure changes in awareness, attitudes, and intended practices; and (3) appraise user experience to inform future scaling. A mixed-methods, quasi-experimental design combined pre-/post- online surveys (n = 104) with in-depth interviews (n = 11). Descriptive statistics, weighted means, and thematic analysis triangulated quantitative shifts and qualitative nuance. Post-campaign awareness rose from a mean of 4.21 to 4.36 on a five-point scale; 94% of participants reported greater confidence discussing consent; and 84% rated the app easy or very easy to use. Informative posts, articles, and video content were most valued, while privacy, Tagalog localization, and interactive quizzes surfaced as desired enhancements. Interviews confirmed improved boundary negotiation yet flagged media misrepresentations and parental silence as enduring barriers. A brief, digitally mediated intervention can meaningfully strengthen consent literacy and dialogue among Metro Manila youth, provided content is credible, visually engaging, and endorsed by trusted health actors. Scale distribution through mainstream app stores, add multilingual and gamified modules, forge influencer partnerships for wider reach, and institute monitoring with Hara Clinic to sustain updates, evaluate behavioural outcomes, and extend services to rural settings.
