The Philippines has somehow managed to become obese and more malnourished at the same time.

The 2025 DOST-FNRI survey found 44.5 percent of Filipino adults overweight or obese, up from 39.8 percent in 2023.

Among children under five, 25.3 percent were stunted, meaning chronic malnutrition had kept them too short for their age, also worse than 2023's 23.6 percent.

So this is not simply a country where some people eat too much and others too little, but one where cheap calories can be easy to find while good nutrition remains harder to afford.

September is NICU Awareness Month.

The NICU changes you.

You learn what every alarm means.
You memorize numbers on monitors.
You celebrate a few extra milliliters.
You learn that holding your own baby isn’t always guaranteed.

You go home without them.
Or you don’t go home at all.

You watch nurses care for your baby.
And you hope for the day you can finally take them home.

Some NICU stays are days.
Some are months.
Some babies come home.
Some never get the chance.

This month is for every tiny fighter.

And every NICU parent who will carry that experience forever.
