ATTENTION SANGGUNIANG BAYAN/SANGGUNIANG PANLUNSOD MEMBERS
Across the Philippines, our barangays are the heart of our communities. And at the heart of every thriving barangay is the health and well-being of its people. As members of the Sangguniang Bayan/Panlungsod, you have the power to directly impact the lives of your constituents. Today, we’re calling on you to consider a powerful tool for positive change: The Annual Inter-School and Community Health EXPO, spearheaded by CLUB YELLOW TOPS!
This isn’t just another event; it’s a strategic initiative designed to tackle critical health challenges and empower communities to thrive. And it all starts with a simple step: adopting and activating a resolution of support.
Why This Matters to YOU, Our Dedicated Councilors:
We know you’re committed to serving your constituents. The CLUB YELLOW TOPS Health EXPO aligns perfectly with your goals by:
- Addressing Key Health Issues: The EXPO directly confronts the dangers of substance abuse (through Project TAPACAN), promotes health literacy (via APIHEP ONLINE), and fosters healthy lifestyles (inspired by the BZP101 Blue Zone Project).
- Engaging the Community: This isn’t a top-down approach. The EXPO actively involves students, teachers, parents, and community leaders in creating a healthier environment.
- Promoting Digital Innovation: In today’s world, technology is key. The EXPO leverages digital tools to educate, engage, and empower individuals to take control of their health.
- Recognizing Local Efforts: The EXPO celebrates the hard work and dedication of barangay health workers and local action units, fostering a sense of pride and ownership.
- Providing a Platform for Education: With health screenings, expert talks, and interactive workshops, the EXPO provides valuable resources and information to your constituents.
What Does Adopting a Resolution Mean?
By adopting a resolution of support, your Sangguniang Bayan/Panlungsod is sending a clear message: “We prioritize the health and well-being of our community!” This resolution:
- Formally recognizes the value of the CLUB YELLOW TOPS Health EXPO.
- Commits the LGU to providing support, whether it’s through venue access, logistical assistance, or participation of local health personnel.
- Opens the door for potential funding opportunities to help make the EXPO a resounding success (subject to budgetary limitations, of course!).
A Call to Action: Be a Champion for Health!
We urge every member of every Sangguniang Bayan/Panlungsod across the Philippines to:
- Review the proposed resolution (see sample below).
- Contact your local CLUB YELLOW TOPS chapter to learn more about the EXPO and how you can get involved.
- Introduce and advocate for the adoption of the resolution in your next session.
Let’s work together to build healthier, stronger, and more vibrant communities, one barangay at a time!
