Dr. Jeremiah Torrico - Pediatrics & Nutrition

30/11/2025

𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. What we do with their health and nutrition determines the future of our communities, our economy, and our nation as a whole. As Nelson Mandela once said, “𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒏𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚’𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒏.”

Yet today, many of our children continue to face significant challenges.

According to global and national data, 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀, reflecting years of chronic malnutrition that affect brain development, school performance, and lifelong productivity. Equally concerning are 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 in clinical practice and public health programs. These are concerning as undernutrition in the early years can limit a child’s potential long before adulthood begins.

Despite progress in recent decades, child malnutrition in the Philippines remains among the highest in the region, with slow improvements compared to neighboring countries.

This underscores the need for stronger programs that ensure children have access to adequate nutrition, safe environments, healthcare, and opportunities to thrive.

As we celebrate 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, may we strengthen our resolve to:
• 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣
• 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨
• 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨

Every child deserves to grow healthy, nourished, and loved. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
