BULILIT HEALTH WORKER & SCREEN SMART LECTURE

The Philippine Pediatric Society – SOCCSKSARGEN Chapter spearheaded a school-based health education activity aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and responsible habits among children.

Two lectures were conducted for the students:

The students were encouraged to take an active role in caring for their own health and to share healthy practices with their families and classmates.

The second lecture was “Screen Smart: Healthy Digital Habits for Growing Kids,” which focused on the proper and responsible use of gadgets, computers, gaming, and the internet.

Through these two lectures, the Philippine Pediatric Society – SOCCSKSARGEN Chapter reinforced its advocacy of empowering children to make healthy choices and become young health advocates in their schools, homes, and communities.

Narrative Report

The Philippine Pediatric Society – Davao Southern Mindanao Chapter, in cooperation with the Philippine Medical Association – General Santos City, conducted the Bulilit & Teen Health Worker Lecture as part of its continuing advocacy to promote health awareness, disease prevention, and responsible health practices among children and adolescents.

With the theme “Healthy Today, Brighter Tomorrow!”, the activity aimed to provide age-appropriate health education and empower students to become advocates of healthy choices in their schools, families, and communities.

Bulilit Health Worker Lecture

The Bulilit Health Worker Lecture was conducted on August 19, 2026 (Wednesday), from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM at Buayan Elementary School, Barangay Buayan, General Santos City. The activity was intended for Grade 6 students.

The session introduced the students to basic but important health concepts that they can practice in their everyday lives. Topics included personal hygiene, proper nutrition, healthy habits, prevention of common illnesses, mental health for children, and knowing when and how to seek help.

The lecture emphasized that children can take an active role in protecting their own health. Through simple and practical lessons, the students were encouraged to develop healthy habits and to share what they learned with their classmates, friends, and families.

The activity carried the message:

“Healthy Kids, Brighter Tomorrow!”

Teen Health Worker Lecture

The Teen Health Worker Lecture was conducted on September 4, 2026 (Friday), from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM at Buayan National High School, General Santos City. The activity was designed for Junior and Senior High School students.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY, September 3, 2026 — The Philippine Pediatric Society–Davao Southern Mindanao Chapter (PPS-DSMC), through its SOCCSKSARGEN members, has joined government agencies and local partners in promoting Bakuna Eskwela 2026, a school-based immunization campaign scheduled from September 15 to November 15, 2026.

The campaign brings together the Department of Health, General Santos City Health Office, Department of Education, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) SOCCSKSARGEN, Local Government Unit of General Santos City, Philippine Medical Association–General Santos City Chapter, and PPS-DSMC in a shared commitment to strengthen immunization coverage and protect schoolchildren from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Under the program, Grade 1 and Grade 7 learners will receive one dose each of the Measles-Rubella (MR) and Tetanus-Diphtheria (Td) vaccines, regardless of previous vaccination history. Eligible Grade 4 girls will receive the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine based on documented previous HPV vaccination.

Beyond providing vaccines, Bakuna Eskwela 2026 also seeks to reach eligible children who may have missed previous vaccination opportunities, help close immunization gaps, and reduce the risk of outbreaks in schools and communities.

As part of the campaign's information drive, Dr. Maria Cristina Ramizo, pediatrician and representative of PPS-DSMC (SOCCSKSARGEN), joined PIA SOCCSKSARGEN for an interview to share evidence-based information about vaccination, address parents' concerns, and encourage families to support the school-based immunization campaign.

PPS-DSMC emphasizes that parents and guardians are essential partners in protecting children. Families are encouraged to seek information from reliable sources, discuss their concerns with healthcare professionals, coordinate with their children's schools and health workers, and make vaccination decisions based on sound medical evidence.

Protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases is a responsibility shared by healthcare workers, schools, government agencies, medical organizations, parents, and the entire community.

Through Bakuna Eskwela 2026, PPS-DSMC stands with its partners in working toward a healthier, safer, and better-protected generation of Filipino children.

Sama-sama para sa proteksyon ng bawat bata! 💉❤️

Protektahan ang bawat bata. Vaccines save lives.
