‼️PAGSASAYAW NGAYONG HOLIDAY SEASON, NAKAKATULONG MAKABAWAS NG CALORIES!‼️
Ayon sa National Health Promotion & Literacy Longitudinal Study (2024), 1 sa 5 Pilipino lang ang nakakaabot ng 150 minuto ng ehersisyo bawat linggo.
Pero ngayong Disyembre, nagsisimula na ang dance practice para sa Christmas at Year-End Parties, kaya tandaan, ang pagsasayaw ay ehersisyo na rin at nakakabawas ng calories! 💃🕺🎶
🕒 Sa 30 minuto:
👉 Magaan na sayaw — 75–125 calories
👉 Katamtamang sayaw — 150–200 calories
👉 Mabilis o matinding sayaw — 250+ calories
⚠️ Paalala ng DOH: Gumalaw ng 30–60 minuto kada araw, kahit nasa trabaho, paaralan, o bahay.

CHO-day's update 📜
📢City of Mati's Balay Paanakan GIDA (LUBAN) Earns DOH Certification Renewal, Ensuring Safe Birthing for 2026

Ang Siyudad sa Mati mapasigarbohon nga nagpahibalo sa pag-renew sa Department of Health (DOH) certification alang sa Balay Paanakan nga pasilidad sa pagpanganak sa Geographical Isolated and Disadvantaged Area (GIDA) sa LUBAN, nga balido hangtod 2026. Kini nga sertipikasyon nagpasiugda sa pasalig sa siyudad sa paghatag og kalidad nga serbisyo sa pag-atiman sa mga inahan ug bag-ong natawo nga mga bata ngadto sa mga konstituwente niini.

Ang Balay Paanakan GIDA (LUBAN) usa ka importante nga kahinguhaan sa pag-atiman sa panglawas alang sa mga mabdos, ilabi na kadtong nagpuyo sa mga geographically isolated ug disadvantaged nga mga lugar (Brgy. Cabuaya, Luban og Lanca). Ang pasilidad nagtanyag og luwas ug komportable nga palibot alang sa pagpanganak, nga adunay mga batid ug hanas na mga propesyonal sa pag-atiman sa panglawas.

Ang Siyudad sa Mati nag-awhag sa tanang mabdos, ilabi na kadtong anaa sa mga GIDA, nga moduaw sa ilang labing duol nga Barangay Health Station alang sa komprehensibo nga serbisyo sa prenatal care. Ang sayo ug regular nga pagpa-check-up sa prenatal importante alang sa himsog nga pagmabdos ug luwas nga pagpanganak.

Pinaagi sa pagpanganak sa usa ka DOH-certified nga pasilidad sa panglawas sama sa Balay Paanakan GIDA (LUBAN), ang mga mabdos makasiguro nga madawat nila ang labing taas nga sukdanan sa pag-atiman sa panahon sa pagpanganak, nga makapakunhod sa risgo sa mga komplikasyon ug makapalambo sa maayo nga resulta sa inahan ug bag-ong natawo nga bata.

Together , YES we can

Strengthening Emergency Preparedness for Children

The three-day writeshop on the development of the Comprehensive Emergency Program for Children (CEPC) was successfully conducted last November 24–26, 2025, at Honey’s Hotel. The activity was led by Council for the Welfare of Children Regional Director Mr. Rene Boy Binondo, who provided in-depth guidance and expert insights throughout the sessions. The event gathered stakeholders from various sectors to strengthen the city’s preparedness and response systems for children during emergencies and disasters.

One of the major highlights identified during the writeshop was the establishment of Child-Friendly Spaces, recognized as a critical intervention to ensure children’s safety, protection, and psychosocial well-being in times of crisis. Participants also worked on identifying local risks, mapping services, and crafting coordinated strategies that will form the core of the CEPC. The outputs from this activity will significantly enhance the city’s disaster risk reduction and management initiatives, ensuring that the needs of children remain a top priority during emergencies.

Celebrate the Holidays with a tasty, filling Filipino tradition! 🎄

𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘢 is a soft, warm, and slightly sweet traditional Filipino treat that fuels the Holiday spirit. It is traditionally made from rice flour, coconut milk, and water. The blend is poured into a clay pot lined with banana leaves, giving it a uniquely earthy flavor.

When cooked, margarine or butter is brushed on top, and freshly-grated coconut meat serves as a topping. A special variant includes a slice of salted egg on top.

Two slices, or 90 grams, of the regular 𝘣𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘢 contain around 𝟮𝟬𝟭 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝗸𝗰𝗮𝗹), making it a comforting source of carbohydrates that gives the energy to enjoy the festivities and stay merry all day.

Enjoy a slice or two as part of the Christmas celebrations and let this classic rice cake keep you energized for all the Holiday fun.

Stay tuned for more nutrition updates to eat right, EATS FNRI!
