I-PRIORITIZE NA!

Sana maipasa po ito sa congress at sa senate so the country can prioritize neurodevelopmental screening, diagnosis and management.

A win for neurodivergent kids! ♥️👶🏻👧🏻🧒🏻👦🏻

Mamamayang Liberal (ML) Party-list Rep. Leila de Lima on Wednesday filed a measure that proposed the establishment of a national comprehensive program for the prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of autism in the Philippines.

House Bill 6577 or the “Autism Care Act” recognized the right of persons with autism (PWAs) to “full, healthy, and holistic development, ensuring that they are empowered to become independent, self-reliant, and productive members of society.”

Malamig na ang panahon! 🥶🤧😷

Dahil sa malamig na panahon at maraming mga family/company/friend gatherings tayong pupuntahan, kasama na dyan ang Christmas shopping, tumataas din ang tsansa na makasagap tayo (at ang mga chikiting) ng mga viruses/bacteria na maaaring maging sanhi ng ubo, sipon, pulmonya at ibang mga sakit.

Hangga't maaari, umiwas sa mga matataong lugar, gumamit ng mask kung pwede, at laging maghugas ng kamay. Samahan na din ang pagpapabakuna kontra sa mga common viruses na pwedeng maging sanhi ng sakit.

Ang payo ni Doc JC (feat. Kween Yasmin), ingat po tayo lagi!!

Ang mga bakuna ay safe ✅ para sa mga bata!

Harmful myths suggesting that vaccines cause autism sow fear and distrust in vaccines, ultimately jeopardizing the great progress we’ve made in preventing serious childhood diseases. For decades, scientists have studied the potential causes of autism, and have repeatedly found no credible link between childhood vaccines and autism. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to our autistic community.

Luguran taya ing kekatamung amanung sisuan!

Indung Kapampángan's silent Ethnic Cleansing.

Linguicide is Ethnocide.

Alá naman marók nung iturú méng dakal a amánu ing anak mu. Máyap pin ita. Ing mákalungkut mû, óbat kailángan méng ilingad kaya ing Amánu mung Sísuan? Kasalungsúngan yang matutúkul at mámitamit magláwú ing Amánu táng Sísuan paúlí ning é ra né pásúsu réng péngári ini karing karélang ának.

(Translation) There is nothing wrong with teaching your kids other languages. In fact it is quite an advantage! But why must you deny them your native Kapampángan language? The Kapampángan language is currently moribund and considered definitively endangered because it is no longer being passed down to the children.
