ON MAGNA CARTA FOR BARANGAY HEALTH WORKERS

We’re pushing for a minimum P3,000 allowance for BHWs nationwide so their compensation is fair and reflective of their critical role in our communities.

Some BHWs earn as little as P200 per month, while others receive up to P10,000. Napakalaki ng agwat. That’s unacceptable.

If we can allocate billions for ‘ayuda’ like AICS and AKAP, we can certainly provide decent compensation for BHWs.

Make the switch: Choose Brown Rice!
Did you know that brown rice is a more sustainable and nutritious alternative to white rice?
Brown rice is a type of whole grain that is generally considered as more nutritious than white rice. It is higher in nutrients and fiber content and linked to positive effects on health.
The refining process of grains removes a significant amount of nutrients including antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, fats, fiber, and protein. This is why several refined grains need to undergo the enrichment and fortification process afterwards. Unlike white rice or “refined rice”, brown rice does not undergo the refining process, maintaining its bran (darak) and germ layer. This results in a brownish, tougher, and chewier rice that offers a variety of health benefits and a wide variety of nutrients.
Some of the major benefits that we could get from eating brown rice includes:
Maintain Healthy Weight. Brown rice is classified under whole grains which are made up of resistant starches, a type of complex carbohydrate. Complex carbohydrates need more time to digest, which helps us feel full or “busog” for longer periods of time and eat less. This can be very helpful in losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight.
Control Blood Sugar Levels. Brown rice and other whole grains can help in controlling blood sugar levels, which reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and other non-communicable diseases.
Promotes Heart Health. The resistant starch in brown rice cannot be digested in the small intestines, causing it to ferment in the large intestines. This results in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs are linked to a variety of health benefits such as lowered risk of heart diseases due to its anti-inflammatory function and effect in lowering cholesterol levels.
Digestive Health. Brown rice contains dietary fiber and resistant starch. As it ferments in the large intestines, it also feeds good gut bacteria and boosts overall gut health. This could help in promoting good bowel movement and lowering the risk of colon cancer.
CHOOSE YOUR RICE WISELY!

Do you ever wonder why the Filipino diet is often so salty? Kasi part na ito ng ating culture! Staples like bagoong, patis, at toyo are go-to ingredients in our everyday cooking, adding that rich, savory flavor we love. Plus, we’ve inherited the tradition of preserving food with salt, like tuyo and daing 🤤 (when refrigeration wasn’t available). Over time, this love for salty flavors became deeply incorporated in our cuisine—at syempre sa panlasa natin!

But here’s the catch: ang sodium ay hindi lang nanggagaling sa table salt. Many Filipino favorites have hidden sodium from processed and preserved foods like instant noodles, canned goods, and even snacks. Pati nga mga classic dishes gaya ng sinigang o tinola ay maaari ring maging high sodium dahil sa bouillon cubes o patis na dinadagdag natin. It’s these little things that can push your sodium intake way beyond healthy levels na hindi natin namamalayan!

Too much sodium is linked to health issues like hypertension, which can lead to heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Sodium makes your body retain water, raising your blood pressure. Pero 'wag mag-alala —cutting down doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor! Hindi kelangang walang lasa ang pagkain. Start by using fresh ingredients, while experimenting with herbs, spices, or calamansi for seasoning, and gradually reducing salty condiments (pati ketchup). Your taste buds will adapt, and your health will thank you for it.
