"Lampa" is a Filipino word to call someone feeble, weak, awkward or crippled. Calling children "lampa" is often used when they are unable to keep up in physical activities with their peers.

Did you know that children can have neuromuscular illnesses resulting in weakness and motor delays?

These can come from inherited or genetic conditions, or may be acquired from various causes in the environment or health issues.

Some conditions can have associated medical and cognitive issues, while some can occur purely as weakness.

Some can have sudden or recent weakness, while some can be present for a long time with minimal improvements in motor skills as they grow up.

If you have a concern with your child being weak or "lampa", you can consult with a Child Neurologist to evaluate for specific neuromuscular conditions.

For more information on Neuromuscular Conditions and Child Neurology, View our website at

Pediatric neuromuscular diseases include all disorders with onset in childhood where the primary location of pathology is in the peripheral nervous system.

Epilepsy Awareness Day, is celebrated annually on March 26. Also known as PURPLE DAY. It was started in 2008 to increase the public’s understanding of epilepsy and to eliminate the fear and stigma surrounding it. Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide.

The main objectives of epilepsy awareness days are to increase education on epilepsy, dispel myths and misconceptions, reduce stigma and discrimination, and promote the rights of people with epilepsy.

In the Philippines, the first week of September each year is designated as "National Epilepsy Week" since 2002.

In 2015, the international community, led by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE), announced the creation of International Epilepsy Day on the second Monday of February each year.

Epilepsy awareness days fall into several categories: global epilepsy awareness days, epilepsy awareness months, regional epilepsy awareness weeks, and regional epilepsy awareness days and national epilepsy awareness days.

Awareness days promote the rights of People With Epilepsy (PWE) by giving them a voice and ensuring their representation in advocacy efforts. These events foster collaboration among stakeholders, including patients, professionals, and organizations, which helps address structural inequalities and improve public understanding of epilepsy. Additionally, a people-centric approach in planning these awareness days emphasizes social justice, ensuring that the needs of People With Epilepsy (PWE) and their families are recognized and met.

Helpful headache hints

While headaches in children often come as part of other common illnesses like fever, colds and such, it is important to exclude more serious conditions like dengue and tumor.

In some cases, primary headaches can occur in children as well. Make sure to have a lifestyle check to ensure they have proper sleep, nutrition and exercise.

If you are worried, consult with a child neurologist or a child care specialist for your concerns.
