“As we observe National Disaster Consciousness Month this July, it would be best to make our people understand how they can contribute to making our communities disaster-resilient and urge them to actually take part in such activities. For instance, restoring our coastal mangrove forests and continuous tree-growing activities are simple yet effective defenses against several types of hazards,”
AS THE NATIONAL NUTRITION COUNCIL GETS READY TO LAUNCH NUTRITION MONTH ON JULY 2, SENATOR LOREN LEGARDA LAUDED THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DEPED) ON ITS INITIATIVE TO PROMOTE EATING VEGETABLES AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN THROUGH THE ‘GULAYAN SA PAARALAN’ PROJECT.
IN TIME FOR THE NATIONAL DISASTER CONSCIOUSNESS MONTH THIS JULY, SENATOR LOREN LEGARDA TODAY CALLED FOR IMPROVED MANAGEMENT OF THE BICOL RIVER BASIN VIS-À-VIS STRENGTHENED DISASTER PREPAREDNESS IN THE BICOL REGION.
“It is lamentable that despite having the Anti-Child Labor Law in place since 2003, the number of minors engaged in various kinds of work continues to surge. This only means that more and more children are forced to work to support their families and are deprived of their childhood and their right to education,”
SENATOR LOREN LEGARDA TODAY ENJOINED FILIPINOS, PARTICULARLY CONCERNED GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE PEOPLE OF IFUGAO, TO SUSTAIN EFFORTS IN BRINGING BACK THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THE IFUGAO RICE TERRACES EVEN AS THE FAMOUS TERRACE CLUSTERS HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE WORLD HERITAGE IN DANGER LIST.
