The successful conduct of 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐩𝐲𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 at Brgy. Calpidong provided essential and various health and nutrition services closer to the community, aiming to promote better health, proper nutrition, and overall wellness among residents.

Services conducted included vital signs assessment, PhilHealth verification, medical and oral consultations, fluoride application and tooth extraction, dispensing of medicines, health education, and dissemination of important information on maintaining children’s health. The activity also included the provision of LNS-SQ (lipid-based nutrient supplement), a fortified complementary food for children.

This initiative highlights the importance of accessible healthcare and community participation in achieving a healthier barangay. Through collaborative efforts of the local government unit, healthcare workers,barangay officials, and partner agencies, residents were given the opportunity to receive essential services and learn more about disease prevention, proper nutrition, and healthy living.

Last May 17, 2026, marked the celebration of 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲 with the theme "𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒚𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓!”—a powerful reminder that patients, health professionals, families, and communities must work hand in hand to fight the “silent killer.” The campaign highlights the importance of raising global awareness on the prevention, early detection, and proper management of high blood pressure. Often linked to poor eating habits and unhealthy lifestyles, hypertension remains one of the leading non-communicable diseases affecting millions worldwide.

This week’s Nutri-Quiz shines the spotlight on simple lifestyle changes and healthier food choices that can help beat hypertension. Because winning against non-communicable diseases doesn’t happen overnight—it starts with small, everyday choices that bring us closer to a healthier tomorrow. 💙
