ONE BREASTFEEDING PHILIPPINES: YAKAP HAKAB 💛
The Municipal Nutrition Action Office, together with the Municipal Health Office, successfully conducted the Breastfeeding Forum entitled “Supporting Continued Exclusive Breastfeeding in the Workplace and Preparing Mothers for Successful Breastfeeding,” as part of the 2026 Breastfeeding Awareness Month celebration, anchored on the theme “Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works.”
The forum brought together pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, health workers, employers, and workplace representatives to promote stronger support for breastfeeding from pregnancy to the mother’s return to work.
As part of the activity, participants took a Pledge of Commitment to Support Exclusive Breastfeeding in the household, workplace, and community, followed by a meaningful One-Minute Simultaneous Hakap participated in by lactating mothers. 🤱💛
🌷 Special thanks to our resource speakers, Ma’am Judith Olmedo, Mr. Mar Loven T. Ronato, Dr. Deo Singzon, and Ma’am Christie Danao, for sharing their knowledge and expertise.
We also extend our gratitude to Hon. Maricor Mendador, who graced the occasion and represented our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Dianne E. Rosales, and expressed her support for this important advocacy.
Together, let us strengthen what works for healthier mothers, healthier children, and a healthier Philippines.
