A WELL-DESERVED RECOGNITION OF SERVICE AND DEDICATION! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘

The Municipality of Esperanza proudly recognizes one of its retired Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS), Mrs. Nancy Pugos of Barangay Pamantingan, who received separation incentives from the National Nutrition Council (NNC) โ€“ SOCCSKSARGEN Region through the SOCCSKSARGEN BNS Federation.

The separation assistance is a meaningful gesture of appreciation for the years of dedicated service rendered by Barangay Nutrition Scholars in promoting nutrition and improving the health and well-being of their communities. This assistance is available to qualified BNS Federation members who are retiring or separating from service, provided they have continuously served as a BNS for at least three years and have paid their BNS dues for three consecutive years. The assistance amounts to โ‚ฑ200.00 for every year of service, with a minimum service requirement of 15 years.

Beyond the separation assistance from the NNC SOCCSKSARGEN Region, Mrs. Pugos also received cash incentives and a Plaque of Loyalty Award from the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Esperanza in recognition of her valuable contributions, commitment, and years of faithful service to the community.

The cash incentive was formally handed over by Mr. Samuel A. Varona Jr., RN, MAN, Municipal Nutrition Action Officer, as a testament to the municipalityโ€™s appreciation for the dedication and hard work of its Barangay Nutrition Scholars.

Mrs. Pugosโ€™s recognition serves as an inspiring reminder that the service of every BNS goes beyond their daily responsibilities. Their unwavering commitment to nutrition programs, community mobilization, and the promotion of better health among families leaves a lasting impact on the lives of the people they serve.

The Municipality of Esperanza extends its heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to Mrs. Nancy Pugos for her invaluable service. May this recognition serve as a reminder that dedication, loyalty, and a genuine commitment to public service are always worthy of appreciation.

Thank you for your years of service, Maโ€™am Nancy! Your contributions to the nutrition program and the community of Esperanza will always be valued and remembered. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿฉท October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month ๐Ÿฉท

The Municipal Health Office of Esperanza joins the global call to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Greater awareness improves access to early detection, timely diagnosis, quality care, and dignified treatment and support for those affected.

This month, we also honor those who continue to face breast cancer, celebrate those who have overcome it, and remember those we have lost to the disease. We stand with their families and loved ones who continue to journey with them through every step. ๐Ÿซ‚

โœ… Know the signs. Get checked. Seek medical care early.

Let us continue to build a health system that provides care, support, and compassion for every person and family affected by breast cancer.

Today, another little recipient gets to experience the precious benefits of donated human milk. ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿปโค๏ธ

Behind every bag of breastmilk is an incredible story of generosityโ€”a mother who willingly shares a part of what she has to help nourish and give hope to another baby in need.

Our Human Milk Donation Drive continues to connect generous breastmilk donors with infants who need this precious gift. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference in a babyโ€™s health, growth, and well-being.

To all our breastmilk donors, thank you for your generosity, compassion, and willingness to share. Your gift is more than just milkโ€”it is an expression of love and care for another child. โค๏ธ

If you are a lactating mother who would like to become part of this meaningful endeavor, we invite you to reach out to us. You may message us or visit the Rural Health Unit (RHU) Esperanza to learn more about our human milk donation program and how you can help.

Together, let us continue to share the gift of breastmilk and give every baby a healthier beginning. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿป

One motherโ€™s milk can become another babyโ€™s hope. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿผ

Nag ALERT na nmn ba Ang phone nyo sa HAZE?? Alamin anu ba Ang HAZE

๐ŸŒซ๏ธ HAZE: Alamin, Protektahan ang Sarili, at Kumilos โ—๏ธโ—๏ธ

Ang haze o malabong hangin ay dulot ng maliliit na particulate matter at iba pang pollutants na maaaring magmula sa sunog sa kagubatan at kabukiran, usok mula sa mga sasakyan at industriya, alikabok, at iba pang pinagmumulan ng polusyon sa hangin. Maaari itong magdulot ng iritasyon sa mata, ilong at lalamunan, pag-ubo, pananakit ng ulo, hirap sa paghinga, at maaaring magpalala ng asthma at iba pang kondisyon sa baga at puso.

๐Ÿ‘ถ Sino ang higit na dapat mag-ingat?
Mas sensitibo sa epekto ng haze ang mga sanggol at bata, matatanda, buntis, mga may asthma o sakit sa puso at baga, at mga taong nagtatrabaho sa labas.

๐Ÿ’š Ano ang maaari nating gawin?
โœ… Manatili sa loob ng bahay hanggaโ€™t maaari kapag makapal ang haze.
โœ… Isara ang mga bintana at pintuan upang mabawasan ang pagpasok ng usok.
โœ… Panatilihing malinis ang hangin sa loob ng bahay; gumamit ng air purifier kung mayroon.
โœ… Kung kinakailangang lumabas, magsuot ng well-fitted N95 o KN95 mask.
โœ… Iwasan muna ang mabibigat o matagal na outdoor activities.
โœ… Uminom ng sapat na tubig at obserbahan ang sariling kalagayan.
โœ… Huwag magsunog ng basura o iba pang materyales na maaaring magdagdag sa polusyon.
โœ… Bantayan ang Air Quality Index (AQI) at sundin ang mga health advisory.

๐Ÿšจ Kung makaranas ng matinding hirap sa paghinga, pananakit ng dibdib, o iba pang seryosong sintomas, agad na kumonsulta sa health professional o pumunta sa pinakamalapit na health facility.

๐ŸŒฑ Ang malinis na hangin ay karapatan ng bawat isa. Sama-sama nating protektahan ang ating kalusugan, kapaligiran, at komunidad.

๐Ÿ“Œ I-share ang infographic na ito upang makatulong sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa haze at air pollution.

Ang obesity o labis na katabaan ay isang lumalaking suliranin sa kalusugan ng publiko na nakaaapekto sa mga tao sa lahat ng edad at komunidad. Ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO), 1 sa bawat 8 tao sa buong mundo ay may obesity noong 2022, habang mahigit doble na ang bilang ng mga adult na may obesity mula noong 1990. Para naman sa mga bata at kabataang edad 5โ€“19, mahigit 390 milyon ang overweight noong 2022, kabilang ang higit 160 milyon na may obesity.

Sa Pilipinas, ang overweight at obesity ay isa na ring mahalagang usapin sa nutrisyon. Ayon din sa The Hospital at Maayo (2021), maaaring mapataas ng obesity ang panganib ng ibaโ€™t ibang kondisyon tulad ng altapresyon, mataas na cholesterol o dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, sakit sa puso, stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, at ilang uri ng cancer.

Batay sa 2023 National Nutrition Survey, 39.8% ng mga Pilipinong nasa hustong gulang na edad 20โ€“59 ay obese gamit ang Asia-Pacific BMI classification, habang 17.3% ang overweight. Kapag pinagsama, 57.1% ng mga adultong Pilipino ay overweight o obese. Ipinapakita nito ang pangangailangan para sa mas matibay na mga hakbang sa pag-iwas at pamamahala ng obesity.

Ang pag-iwas sa obesity ay nagsisimula sa pagkakaroon ng malulusog na gawi sa bawat yugto ng buhay. Sa Pilipinas, maaaring gabayan tayo ng 10 Kumainments, ang payak na bersyon ng National Nutrition Council ng Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos.

Partikular na hinihikayat ng:

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Kumainment No. 1 โ€“ โ€œKumain ng ibaโ€™t-ibang pagkainโ€
Hinihikayat tayo nitong kumain ng sari-saring uri ng pagkain upang makuha ang mga kinakailangang sustansiya ng katawan.

๐Ÿฅฌ Kumainment No. 3 โ€“ โ€œKumain ng prutas at gulayโ€
Hinihikayat ang araw-araw na pagkain ng gulay at prutas bilang bahagi ng isang masustansiyang pagkain.

๐Ÿฌ Kumainment No. 8 โ€“ โ€œHinay-hinay sa maalat, mamantika at matatamisโ€
Itinataguyod nito ang pag-moderate o paglilimita sa mga pagkaing mataas sa asin, taba at asukal.

๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—”๐—ธ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ผ, ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ด

Ang pisikal na aktibidad ay mahalagang bahagi ng pag-iwas sa obesity at makikita rin sa:

โš–๏ธ Kumainment No. 9 โ€“ โ€œPanatilihin ang tamang timbang.โ€

๐Ÿƒ Kumainment No. 10 โ€“ โ€œMaging aktibo. Iwasan ang alak; huwag manigarilyo.โ€

Para sa mga adult, inirerekomenda ng WHO ang 150โ€“300 minuto ng moderate-intensity physical activity bawat linggo, o 75โ€“150 minuto ng vigorous-intensity activity, o kombinasyon ng mga ito. Inirerekomenda rin ang mga gawaing nagpapalakas ng muscles nang hindi bababa sa 2 araw bawat linggo.

Para naman sa mga bata at kabataan, inirerekomenda ng WHO ang average na 60 minuto ng moderate-to-vigorous physical activity bawat araw sa loob ng isang linggo.

Ang regular na pagkilos at ehersisyo ay nakatutulong sa pangkalahatang kalusugan at pagpapanatili ng malakas at malusog na katawan. Mahalaga rin ang pag-iwas sa matagal na pagkakaupo o pagiging sedentary, pagkakaroon ng sapat at malusog na tulog, at isang pamilyang at komunidad na sumusuporta sa malusog na pamumuhay.

๐Ÿ’š ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฎ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐—ž๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐˜€

Sa Obesity Prevention Awareness Week, piliin natin ang kalusugan kaysa stigma, pag-iwas kaysa panghuhusga, at sama-samang pagkilos kaysa paninisi.

Ang maliliit ngunit tuloy-tuloy na pagbabago, na sinusuportahan ng mas malusog na tahanan, paaralan, komunidad, at food environment, ay makatutulong upang makamit ang mas malusog na kinabukasan para sa lahat.

Ang kalusugan ay hindi nasusukat sa numero sa timbangan.
Nagsisimula ang pag-iwas sa obesity sa wastong kaalaman, matalinong pagpili, suportadong kapaligiran, at sama-samang pagkilos.

๐Ÿ’š Itaguyod natin ang kalusugan, hindi ang stigma.
