ACTION PILLAR | Start to a Healthy Heart 2026 ❤️🏃‍♂️

Last February 28, 2026, AMSA–UNP successfully brought together students, partners, and the community for Start to a Healthy Heart 2026 at the UNP Grandstand, Vigan City — a meaningful celebration of Philippine Heart Month centered on movement, awareness, and preventive health.

Through this initiative, participants took collective steps toward promoting cardiovascular wellness, embracing active lifestyles, and strengthening community engagement. More than just a fun run, the event embodied our shared commitment to building healthier habits and empowering individuals through education and advocacy.

This milestone would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our partners and sponsors:

Held earlier this Valentine’s Day, Reading is Vital Series 2 gathered children from Bahay Bulilit Learning Center at Iloilo City Public Library for book reading and handwashing activity.
Storybooks made by the publication, titled “Luna and the Bad Lobo” and “Esang, the Brave” were presented, led by Eunice Nolasco and Carlo Anthony Ang, respectively.
As a form of learning activity, kids were engaged in two games which included identifying body organs as well as making Valentine cards for their parents. To continue promoting creativity and joy in solving problems among children, they were provided coloring materials, coloring worksheets, and maze challenges on paper as take-home assignments.
Dorothy Regalado, AMSA-WVSU SCOPH Head, led the handwashing activity under the hygiene drive which involved teaching children proper ways of washing hands with soap and water.
Started in 2024, this marks the second season of the event aiming to promote the joy of reading and improve word skills while tackling health.
This Reading is Vital Series 2: Book Reading and Hygiene Drive is co-organized by Iloilo City Public Library and in partnership with AMSA-WVSU SCOPH.
