Sa tindi ng init ng panahon, dumarami rin ang mga nagtutungo sa dagat, ilog, resort, at swimming pool upang magpalamig. Ngunit kasabay nito, tumataas din ang panganib ng pagkalunod. Alam niyo ba na ang simpleng pagpapabaya, kawalan ng bantay sa mga bata, o paglangoy sa mapanganib na bahagi ay maaaring humantong sa trahedya?

Pinapaalalahanan ng Philippine Coast Guard ang publiko na laging mag-ingat, bantayang mabuti ang mga bata, umiwas sa paglangoy nang mag-isa, at sundin ang mga safety reminders sa mga pampublikong paliguan at baybayin.

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) supports the Department of Health’s (DOH) advisory reminding the public to remain vigilant against hantaviruses and other rodent-borne diseases through proper sanitation, food safety, and preventive health practices.

While there are currently no confirmed cases of hantavirus in the Philippines, maintaining clean surroundings and observing proper hygiene remain important in reducing health risks associated with rodent infestation and environmental contamination.

The NNC also encourages the public to follow the Pinggang Pinoy food guide by consuming balanced meals consisting of Go, Grow, and Glow foods in appropriate portions. Staying properly hydrated, maintaining an active lifestyle, and making healthy food choices are likewise important in promoting overall health and well-being, especially during the summer season.

To help prevent rodent-borne diseases:

- Keep homes and surroundings clean
- Store food and water properly
- Practice proper waste disposal
- Avoid direct contact with rodent droppings and nesting materials
- Wear gloves and face masks when cleaning potentially contaminated areas
- Disinfect contaminated surfaces before sweeping or wiping to minimize airborne particles

Individuals experiencing symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, or difficulty breathing following possible exposure to rodents are advised to seek immediate medical consultation.

By keeping our surroundings clean, practicing proper hygiene, and making healthy lifestyle and food choices, we can all contribute to preventing disease and promoting safer and healthier communities.

Across the Western Pacific Region, millions of people live with high blood pressure without knowing it.

Sometimes you can go about your day for years, feeling completely fine - while high blood pressure quietly strains your heart, damages blood vessels and stresses your kidneys.
The good news: prevention and control are possible.
Early diagnosis, access to affordable high blood pressure medicines and healthy daily habits can greatly lower these risks.
