Bongbong Marcos has this reminder for singles
President Bongbong Marcos has this message to all singles in line with the celebration of the love month.
Filipinos are among the fond celebrators of Valentine’s Day. Different events or gatherings are being held in line with this and couples dating is a common sight even before or after February 14.
Before the heart’s day arrives, based on the article in Inquirer, the Chief Executive released a video message for single men and women. The government assigned February as the Philippine Heart Month.
Pres. Bongbong Marcos told singles to take care of their heart. He also encouraged people to practice self-love. “The new Filipino is more careful about his health. So this month of hearts, let’s celebrate loving ourselves,” he said.
The President pointed out that no one will take care of your heart but yourself, especially single people. In his greeting video, he also included clips of him doing physical activities like running on the treadmill and doing sit-ups and bench presses.
This Heart Month people are encouraged to focus on the importance of heart health. Ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular illness, and neoplasms were among the leading causes of death based on the data from the Philippine Statistics Authority. This was recorded between January and September 2022.
Last year, it was stated by healthcare reform advocate Dr. Tony Leachon that genetic predisposition and lifestyle can all contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases, not just age.
In his recommendation, he stressed the importance of staying away from the risks such as smoking, drinking, and poor diet. These can be factors why a person can develop heart disease. He also reminded people to remember the acronym FAST which can help detect stroke symptoms during an emergency.
These are Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech Difficulties, and Time.
