Bacteria can get into sprout seeds through cracks in the shell before the sprouts are grown. Once this occurs, these bacteria are nearly impossible to wash out. Sprouts grown in the home are also risky if eaten raw. Many outbreaks have been linked to contaminated seed. If pathogenic bacteria are present in or on the seed, they can grow to high levels during sprouting - even under clean conditions. To reduce the risk:

•Avoid eating raw sprouts of any kind (including alfalfa, clover, radish, and mung bean).
•Cook sprouts thoroughly. This significantly reduces the risk of illness.
•Check sandwiches and salads purchased at restaurants and delicatessens. They may often contain raw sprouts. Request that raw sprouts not be added to your food.

🚨 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔: 𝑨 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒔

While pregnancies among older teens are declining, births among girls under 15 are rising—many linked to abuse and remain underreported.
Adolescent pregnancy often forces girls to leave school, face stigma, and take on adult responsibilities too early—limiting their opportunities and future.
It also puts both mother and child at risk, including:
• Preterm birth and preeclampsia
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Anemia and postpartum hemorrhage
• Mental health challenges, including depression

We can protect, educate, and empower by:
✅ Strengthening child protection systems
✅ Expanding reproductive health education
✅ Supporting young mothers to stay in school
✅ Breaking the cycle of silence and stigma
Every girl deserves a future that is safe, informed, and full of opportunities.

𝗞𝗮𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗸𝘀𝘆𝗼𝗻. 💜

Many young people in the Philippines still face gaps in knowledge when it comes to sexual and reproductive health. Only 76% of those aged 15–24 have heard of HIV and AIDS, marking a decline in awareness over the years.

At the same time, the country records around 57 new HIV cases daily, with one-third affecting young people aged 15–24.

Low awareness and limited understanding continue to undermine HIV prevention efforts—highlighting that health education is more important than ever.
We must continue to:
✅ Strengthen HIV education in schools
✅ Expand access to testing and counseling
✅ Raise awareness through youth-friendly campaigns

Providing accurate, age-appropriate information and accessible, youth-friendly services is essential to protect the health and future of young people.

Kapag umubo, bumahing, dumura, o nagsalita ang isang taong may aktibong sakit na TB, sumasama sa hangin ang bakterya at pwedeng malanghap ng ibang tao sa bahay o trabaho.

𝑻𝑨𝑵𝑫𝑨𝑨𝑵. Hindi naipapasa ang TB sa pakikipag kamay, paggamit ng kubyertos, pakikipaghalikan, at pagbubuntis.

👉Kung hindi pa nagpapagamot, ang isang taong may TB ay kayang makahawa ng 𝟭𝟬-𝟭𝟱 𝘁𝗮𝗼 sa loob ng 𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗼𝗻. Kaya mahalagang magpagamot agad. Sa tamang gamutan, gumagaling ang TB at napipigilan ang pagkalat nito sa iba.
