CITY SOCIAL WELFARE OFFICE UPDATES

     The City Government of Trece Martires through City Social Welfare & Development Office launched the Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP), Distribution of Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) and Buwan ng Wika Celebration.

       The Supplementary Feeding Program is the provision of food, in addition to the regular meals, to currently enrolled day care center children.  This is in the form of hot meals, as recommended by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), and served during break time to children in daycare centers to prevent mal-nutrition. Mayor Melan De Sagun was at the Southville daycare center with the Barangay Inocencio Daycare workers and Ms. Marife V. Morales last August 6, 2015 to oversee this program.

       The next activity was the distribution of Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) Micro-Enterprise Development Track Bottoms - Up Budgeting (B.U.B) Fiscal Year 2015 of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) which aims to continue to improve the socio-economic status of poor families by creating more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. The target beneficiaries for the 1M income generating projects are the 200 Trece Martires City SEA-K Association Pantawid Pamilyang     Pilipino Program (4P’s), Benificiaries for 13 barangays, 20 groups (10 members). This was held last August 11, 2015.

       The last activity was the Buwan ng Wika which used to be a week-long celebration was changed by President Ramos to a month-long activity starting in 1997. The daycare children in the city celebrated Buwan ng Wika last August 26, 2015 at Barangay Inocencio Covered Court sponsored by Cavite Provincial Library & Office of Sanggunian Panlalawigan.

NINOY  AQUINO DAY

         The Philippine government through Proclamation No. 831, s. 2014 signed by President Benigno S. Aquino declared that August 21, 2015, as a Special Non-Working Holiday nationwide in commemoration of the death anniversary of Sen. Benigno Aquino, Jr. or more popularly known as Senator Ninoy, the father of Pres. Aquino. Aquino was a well-known opposition figure and critic of the then-President Ferdinand Marcos. Due to his beliefs, he was later imprisoned for about eight years after martial law was declared in the country.

       The first Ninoy Aquino Day was celebrated in the year 2004 during the administration of Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The late senator was assassinated during the year 1983 at the tarmac of the former Manila International Airport now Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

      A commemoration ceremony was held at the People Power Monument which was attended by Presidents Arroyo and Aquino, the Aquino family, and government officials such as members of the cabinet, top police, and military brass.

NATIONAL HEROES DAY

     The celebration of  National Heroes Day was first signed into law through Act No. 3827 of the Philippine Legislature on  October 28, 1931. The Act declared the last Sunday of August of every year an official national holiday.

       President Corazon C. Aquino’s Administrative Code of 1987 adopted this in Book 1, Chapter 7, which provided for a list of regular holidays and nationwide special days, setting National Heroes Day as a regular holiday celebrated on the last Sunday of August. The Administrative Code provides that the list of holidays and special days may be “modified by law, order or proclamation.”

       On July 24, 2007, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law Republic Act No. 9492, which amended Book 1, Chapter 7 of the Administrative Code. By virtue of R.A. 9492, the celebration of National Heroes Day thus falls on the last Monday of August.

       Our national heroes are often portrayed as a pantheon of distinct and powerful personalities (see the banner above) who have managed to get their names published in our history books by virtue of their words or actions. But National Heroes Day specifies no hero; the law that put into practice the celebration does not name a single one. And this lack of specifics offers an opportunity to celebrate the bravery of not one, not a few, but all Filipino heroes who have braved death or persecution for home, for nation, for justice, for freedom.

PUKSAIN ANG KITI-KITI, SUGPUIN ANG DENGUE

     “Kaya nating masugpo ang sakit na dengue kung sama-sama tayong kikilos” ayon kay Mayor Melan De Sagun.

       

      Ang mga palatandaan o sintomas ng dengue ay mga sumusunod: (1) mataas at tuluy-tuloy na lagnat na tumatagal ng 2-7 araw  na may kasamang pananakit ng kalamnan at kasukasuan, pananakit ng ulo, tiyan at panghihina; (2) walang ganang kumain; (3) pamumula ng balat sanhi ng mataas na lagnat; (4) pagkakaroon ng maliit at mapupulang pantal, at (5) pagdurugo ng ilong o gilagid.

        Paraan ng pagiwas: 4-s Laban sa Dengue: Search and Destroy: (1) Itapon ang mga bote, lata at iba pang maaring pagipunan ng tubig at pagtigilan ng lamok, (2) Linisin ang mga alulod ng bahay, (3) Palitan ang tubig sa flower vase minsan sa isang linggo, (4) Tiyakin na walang naiipong tubig sa ilalim ng paminggalan at refrigerator, (5) Takpan ang mga drum o iba pang imbakan ng tubig. Self-Protection Measures: Magsuot ng pantalon at ng polo o kamiseta na may mahabang manggas. Maari ding gumamit ng mosquitos repellant sa araw. Seek Early Consultation: Kung may lagnat na isang araw at may rashes sa balat, pumunta at komunsulta agad sa pinakamalapit na health center o ospital. Say yes to fogging if there is an impending outbreak: Mag fogging kapag mabilis ang pagtaas ng kaso.
