The Freudian Slip Of A Bacolodnon

Last July 25, as part of our Nutrition Month celebrations, the Municipal health Office conducted the Well-Baby Contest. The competition was open to all babies 9-month old and above with the following criteria: Fully immunized child, newborn screened, exclusively breastfed up to at least 6 months, developmental milestones at par with age and of course, with very cuddly appearance. The winner of the contest will represent Candoni during the inter-local health zone competition in August 14, 2008 in Sipalay.

Busy, busy, busy. Keep busy. That's the motto of the RHU of Candoni the past few weeks. Other than planning for our Nutrition Month Activities for July, (we will be holding a well-baby contest next Friday), there have been many projects that kept us busy the past few weeks. One of those projects is the application of all 9 barangays for the Botika ng Barangay. When I first arrived in Candoni in December, the first thing that I noticed was the lack of accredited pharmacy.

I immediately gathered the barangay captains, their kagawads for health and their barangay midwives and proposed to them the old concept of the Botika ng Barangay. There used to be many Botikas ng Barangay here and in fact there is one existing Botika but only in the Poblacion area. The barangay captains were reluctant to apply for a BnB license because they are afraid it might not prosper. Ne...
