As the country observes National Breastfeeding Month this August, the latest national nutrition data tell a story of both progress and remaining challenges. More Filipino infants are being exclusively breastfed, and more young children are continuing to receive breast milk into their second year of life. However, for many newborns, breastfeeding still does not begin within the critical first hour after birth.

This progress was reflected in the 2025 Updating of the Nutritional Status of Filipino Children and Other Population Groups, or the 2025 Updating Survey, by the Department of Science and Technology - Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI). The survey found that 54.8 percent (%) of infants aged 0 to 5.9 months were exclusively breastfed, an increase from 50.4% in the 2023 National Nutrition Survey (NNS).

Breastfeeding is more than nourishment - it is a powerful foundation for a healthier future. Let us continue to empower, support, and protect every mother's right to make informed choices for herself and her baby.

Together, we can strengthen what works and give every child a sustainable start in life.

Nagkakaroon ng malaking gap sa stunting rates ng ating mga bata (0–59 months old) depende sa ahensyang naglalabas ng data:

➜ 5.0% lang ayon sa 2025 National Nutrition Council Operation Timbang Plus (OPT+)
➜ 25.3% naman ayon sa 2025 DOST-Food and Nutrition Research Institute National Nutrition Survey

Para makagawa tayo ng tamang mga educational and nutrition policies, kailangang accurate at aligned ang ating data. Patuloy na pinag-aaralan ng EDCOM 2 ang mga numerong ito para masigurong mapababa natin ang stunting rate sa bansa!

We tend to our bodies when we’re sick — so why treat our minds any differently? Mental health isn’t a luxury; it’s a basic need. Rest isn’t laziness. Pausing isn’t giving up. Taking care of your mind is the kindest thing you can do for yourself.

Today, do ONE small thing that brings you peace. Take a few minutes today to rest, breathe, connect, or do something you enjoy.
Your mind deserves care. 💛
