In one of the far-flung communities of Dumanjug, three friends โ all hardworking farmers โ were known for their daily drinking sessions whenever they had a little extra money from their harvest. Their bond over Kulafu and Tanduay was unbreakable and laughter always filled their evenings.
One day, the Barangay Health Worker encouraged them to attend the Alagad Dumanjug activity in their barangay โ a wellness drive promoting regular health check-ups. Out of curiosity, the three decided to go together.
The first farmer learned that his blood pressure was elevated. The second, cheerful and full of jokes, found out that his blood sugar was high 2 hours after meals. The third, who was teasing his friends about their results, ended up having the highest blood pressure among them all!
That day became a turning point. They realized that good health cannot wait until itโs too late. Through proper health teaching and encouragement from our LGU Officials and Municipal Health Office, they pledged to take their maintenance medicines faithfully, reduce their alcohol intake, and return for follow-up next month.
Their BHW also took on the challenge โ to regularly monitor their blood pressure and help them keep a BP tracking record.
Their story is a reminder that change starts with awareness and continues through action. Taking care of oneโs health is not a burden โ itโs an act of love for oneโs self, family, and community.
Letโs all be like these three farmers โ brave enough to take the first step toward better health. ๐พ๐
Get checked. Take your medicines. Live responsibly.
