Insights about the Nutrition Month Theme

 “Kalamidad paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan”

              

           

“Life is a tragedy of nutrition” 
― Arnold Ehret

          Nutrition is always the highlight every month of July for it is considered as the Nutrition month. It is celebrated in the entire Philippines whereas different activities are implemented. Today’s nutrition month theme is ““Kalamidad paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan” which is in connection to the disaster preparedness program of the government.

                This theme makes thought that it is really made for us to store foods, most especially fruits and vegetables in preparation for the disasters if ever. Malnutrition and starvation are some serious problems which arise after every catastrophe. It is why I support today’s theme because this is one way to reduce the number of underfed and deprivations in our country. It is then prompted to conduct activities for the welfare of those who has lack of knowledge about adversity awareness. Subsequently, self-confidence as well as skills will be developed through expression of hidden abilities.

                The 2014 Nutrition Month Theme aims to uphold interventions in addressing the nutrition needs of the Filipinos extending from preparedness, response, recovery and rehabilitation phases. It also aims to trigger appropriate, coherent and timely response from the Nutrition Cluster at all levels. Moreover, it stresses a public responsibility to develop an attitude of “I am ready” especially among the most nutritionally vulnerable population and hazard-prone areas in the country. It is believed that underpinning nutrition awareness is a great key to better prepare and efficiently respond to Nutrition in Emergencies!                                               

Letter to the President

Mr. President:

                Greetings with high hopes and aspirations to you Sir!

                 Poverty had always been the worst problem in our society. It's been how many years since this problem get worse. According to my observation, the administration needs a long time in searching solutions for the progress of our civilization. But, didn't you notice that we need instant solutions just to reduce the level of poverty in our country.

             Some commentators claimed that unemployment is one cause of Poverty. If only we can find abrupt way to enrich the number of job offerings, jobless individuals will then have greater chances in having their jobs.

                 As a Filipino Citizen, I am unease about the welfare of my fellow men as well as the of our economy.
               Hoping for your immediate action with regards to my concerns. 

               

               Thank you and good day!

Sincerely yours,
