🍎 Good nutrition is everyone's responsibility.

Achieving better nutrition requires the collective efforts of families, communities, schools, local government units, national government agencies, development partners, and other stakeholders.

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) and the Philippine
College of Surgeons (PCS) signed a Memorandum of Agreement today, April 17,
2026, strengthening the systems that will make quality surgical care more accessible to Filipinos.

Under the agreement, PhilHealth and PCS will jointly develop surgical benefit
packages, referral networks, and quality standards, supported by research and
geographic mapping of surgical services across the country.

The agreement was signed by PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Edwin M. Mercado
and PCS President Dr. Joselito M. Mendoza.

"Surgical professionals are among our most important partners in delivering on
the promise of Universal Health Care. Through this agreement, we are working
with PCS to build the systems that will make quality surgical care more reachable
for every Filipino," said Dr. Mercado.

PCS will also ensure compliance of its member-surgeons with PhilHealth policies,
strengthen fraud detection and ethical claims review, and participate in a joint
mechanism for resolving surgical claims and complaints. PCS will likewise identify
and share emerging best practices in surgical procedures to PhilHealth.

This partnership supports PhilHealth's mandate under Universal Health Care to
ensure that all Filipinos have access to surgical services that are safe, fairly delivered, and of the highest standard.

𝗛𝘂𝘄𝗮𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗶 "𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮" 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼!
Ang 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘺 ay ang pinakakaraniwan at pinakalaganap na uri ng langaw. Ang mga ito ay maaaring magdala ng mahigit isandaang 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘯, kabilang ang 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢, 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴, 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘪, at 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴.

❓𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝗮 '𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮, 𝘀𝗶 "𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮"?
Ang mga langaw ay karaniwang kumakain at nagpaparami sa mga dumi ng hayop, mga nabubulok na bagay, at maging sa pagkain mo. Kung dadapo sila sa kinakain mo, malaki ang posibilidad na hindi pagkain ang huli nilang pinanggalingan.

At dahil hindi sila nakangunguya ng pagkain, dumudura sila ng laway na may mga 𝘦𝘯𝘻𝘺𝘮𝘦 upang matunaw ang pagkain bago nila ito sipsipin.

🤏𝗦𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗶𝘁, 𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗵!
Kumpul-kumpol kung mangitlog ang langaw (umaabot sa halos 300 na itlog kada pangingitlog). At mahirap makita ang mga ito dahil umaabot lamang sa humigit-kumulang 1.2 mm ang kanilang laki.

Dagdag pa rito, ang mga itlog ng langaw ay kadalasang puti o dilaw at nagmimistulang mga maliliit na butil ng bigas. Mula sa pangingitlog, napipisa ang mga ito sa loob lamang ng isang araw (lalo na sa mga maiinit at 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘥 na lugar).

🤩 𝗠𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗹𝗮
Kung kakain sa labas, kilatisin ang pagkain lalo na kung matagal itong naiwan na walang takip. Upang maiwasan ang pagkasira at pag-aaksaya ng pagkain sa tahanan, panatilihing nakatakip ang pagkain, bawasan ang sobrang 𝘮𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 sa paligid, at regular na linisin ang mga kanal at basurahan.

Bakit ba mahalagang maging RICEponsible? 🤔

Dahil ayon sa DOST-FNRI, bawat Pilipino ay nagsasayang ng 26.54g o dalawang kutsara ng kanin kada araw.

Kung susuriin, nasa 542,477 toneladang bigas ito sa isang taon na kaya pa sanang pakainin ang mahigit kalahating milyong Pilipino ng buong taon.

Kanin ay huwag sayangin, kumuha lang ng kayang ubusin.🍚

Let’s be RICEponsible everyday!

Ikaw, RICEponsible ka ba?
