Davao Oriental continues to uphold its strong commitment to a smoke-free province as several local government units (LGUs), hospitals, and offices successfully underwent the 2025 Red Orchid Award (ROA) Validation conducted by the Department of Health (DOH).

The Red Orchid Award is the highest recognition given by DOH to institutions that strictly implement a 100% to***co-free environment, guided by the World Health Organization’s MPOWER framework on to***co control.

This year’s validation recognized the outstanding efforts of the following LGUs:
Boston – 2nd Time Red Orchid Awardee
Cateel – 2nd Time Red Orchid Awardee
Caraga – Sustainability Awardee
Manay – Hall of Fame Awardee
Tarragona – Sustainability Awardee
Mati City – Hall of Fame Awardee
San Isidro – 2nd Time Red Orchid Awardee

Municipalities of Governor Generoso, Banaybanay, Lupon, and Baganga were no longer subject to this year’s validation as they had already secured Sustainability Awards in 2024, with revalidation scheduled every three years.

Hospitals in the province likewise demonstrated their commitment:
Davao Oriental Provincial Hospital (DOPH) Cateel – Sustainability Awardee
DOPH Manay – 2nd Time Red Orchid Awardee
DOPH Awuyon – 2nd Time Red Orchid Awardee

The DOPH Lupon, DOPH Governor Generoso, and the Davao Oriental Provincial Medical Center (DOPMC) also remain as Sustainability Awardees since 2024.

Other offices were likewise commended:
Provincial Health Office (PHO) – 2nd Time Red Orchid Awardee
BJMP Lupon – Sustainability Awardee (2024)

The 2025 Validation Team was composed of:
Ms. Rosemarie J. Basanes – Team Leader

Ms. Nella Hernandez – Documentor
Arvin A Ablin MPM-HSD- DMO IV/OIC-PDOHO

With more LGUs and institutions moving up to the Sustainability and Hall of Fame categories, Davao Oriental continues to establish itself as a leader in advancing the DOH’s anti-to***co campaign in the Davao Region.

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐀 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄-𝐖𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐊 𝐓𝐁 𝐒𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐀

Gipahigayon kaganina lamang sa 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐠𝐚 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐗-𝐫𝐚𝐲, nga gipangulohan sa Provincial Health Office uban sa Municipal Health Office sa Tarragona.

Ang maong kalihokan nagtumong sa sayo nga pag-detect sa 𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 (𝗧𝗕), ilabi na sa mga high-risk groups, aron matambalan dayon ug malikayan ang pagkaylap niini sa komunidad.

Gikan pa sa lain-laing layo nga barangay, gisundo ang mga pasyente, gi-interview, ug gihatagan dayon og libreng chest X-ray.

Sa tibuok adlaw nga kalihokan, 284 𝗸𝗮 𝘁𝗮𝘄𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗮-𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗶𝘀𝘆𝗼.

Anaa usab sa maong aktibidad si 𝗛𝗼𝗻. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗻, 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵, nga nagpasabot sa importansya sa maong programa ug sa padayon nga suporta sa lokal nga panggamhanan aron maprotektahan ang kahimsog sa katawhan.

Ang kalihokan gipanguna ni 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗗𝘂𝗹𝗰𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗡𝗧𝗣 𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲, sa koordinasyon sa Provincial Health Office nga gipangulohan ni 𝐌𝐫. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐉𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐳, 𝐤𝐚𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐢 𝐌𝐫. 𝐀𝐜𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 (𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭), 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐬𝐚 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐆𝐎, 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐇𝐑𝐇, 𝐮𝐠 𝐌𝐇𝐎 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐬𝐚 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐚.

Pinaagi sa inisyatiba sama niini, nagpadayon ang paningkamot sa probinsya ug sa munisipyo nga mapakunhod ang kaso sa TB ug masiguro nga makadawat og hapsay ug paspas nga serbisyo medikal ang katawhan.

PARA SA BAG-ONG TARRAGONA!
