'No 67-yr old individual included in 14 HIV new
cases in Caraga,' says DOH 13 chief
By Fryan E. ABkilan
BUTUAN CITY, Mar. 27 (PIA) - A regional official of
the Department of Health (DOH) in Caraga Region has denied the existence of a
67-year old Caraganon who was reportedly among the 14 new cases of the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) recorded in December 2016 in the region.
DOH Caraga regional director Dr. Jose Llacuna Jr.,
in an interview, said that based on the December 2016 Disease Surveillance
Report, 12 (86 percent) of the new cases were males with 25 years old as the
youngest and 34 years old as the oldest.
“There is no report of a 67-year old Caraganon
diagnosed with HIV per December 2016 data. If it were true, I should be the
first one to know,” said Llacuna.
Llacuna, however, expressed concern and alarm over
increasing numbers of individuals testing positive for HIV in the region.
Llacuna bared that, from January to December 2016,
there were 95 HIV cases reported, 10.5 percent higher compared to the same
period last year with 86 cases.
DOH Caraga data revealed that from 1995 to December
2016, there were 335 HIV cases, with 27 reported HIV-AIDS related deaths.
Overall, DOH Caraga data showed that the 25-34
years old (50.4 percent) age group had recorded the most number of cases with
169, with 18 years old as the youngest and 67 years old as the oldest. Most of
the cases, 316 (94 percent), were males while 19 cases, or six percent, were
females.
"This means that the 18-year old as youngest
and 67-year old as oldest individuals stricken with HIV were based on the
cumulative data in previous years and definitely not in the December 2016
report," clarified Llacuna.
The reported modes of transmission were mostly
through sexual contact with 333 cases. Homosexual contact, at 164 (49 percent),
was the predominant mode of sexual transmission. Most, about 92 percent or 309
cases, were still asymptomatic at the time of reporting, with Butuan City
topping the cases in the region with 122, followed by Surigao del Sur with 64,
and 60 for Agusan del Sur.
“We remain steadfast in our advocacy. DOH is giving
free counseling and testing services for the HIV program. We assure that these
services remain confidential. In the event that individuals are tested positive
for HIV, DOH will also provide the antiviral drugs for free. This, however, is
the management side of our HIV cases," said Llacuna.
"We still strongly advocate for the healthy
practices against the disease: A-Abstinence, B-Be Faithful, C-Correct and
consistent Condom use and counseling incase of unhealthy sexual behaviors, and
D-early Detection through testing,” Llacuna added. (FEA/DOH-Caraga/PIA-Caraga)

United States-PH partnership project advances water
security in VisMin
BUTUAN CITY, Mar. 27 - “Through our partnership with the
Philippine government, more than 1.3 million Filipinos have gained access to
improved sanitation and over 1.5 million more now have access to safe and clean
drinking water,” said United States (U.S.) ambassador Sung Y. Kim in his
keynote address during the finale ceremony of U.S. Agency for International
Development’s (USAID) Water Security for Resilient Economic Growth and
Stability Project (Be Secure).
To celebrate World Water Day on March 22,
ambassador Kim joined Philippine government representatives to celebrate the
success of Be Secure, a P966M project that increased access to safe water and
sanitation in the Visayas and Mindanao (VisMin) regions. Initiated in 2013, Be Secure implemented a
4-year partnership between USAID and the Philippine Department of Public Works
and Highways (DPWH) to promote good governance, improve access to water and
sanitation, and enhance resilience to variances in weather and climate trends
in the cities of Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Zamboanga and in the provinces of
Basilan, Maguindanao and Leyte. During
the ceremony, USAID also awarded warranties for water systems at ten sites,
including schools and health clinics.
These warranties will cover the cost of possible damage from future
typhoons and floods.
To implement Be Secure, USAID coordinated with the
national government agencies, local government units, water utilities, private
sector, media, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions. It was launched in 2013 and, having achieved
its objectives, will officially close in July 2017. (U.S. Embassy/PIA-Caraga)
Feature: Pinoys’ fruits and vegetables consumption
decreasing in the past 37 years
By Charina A. Javier
Fruits and vegetables consumption in the Philippines
showed a gradual decreasing trend in the past 37 years according to the
Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute
(DOST-FNRI).
Results of the 2015 Updating Survey by the
DOST-FNRI showed that the mean one-day per capita intake of vegetables in the
Philippines was 123 grams, slightly higher than the 2013 per capita intake of
114 grams. However, this is much lower than the mean per capita intake in 1978
at 145 grams which has been the highest reported per capita intake of
vegetables.
The trend is even more apparent in the per capita
intake of fruits which was 37 grams in 2015, almost three-fold lower than the
per capita intake in 1978 at 104 grams according to DOST-FNRI. The highest
reported per capita intake was 107 grams in 1987 but has since steadily
declined over the last three decades.
Moreover, the combined per capita intakes of fruits
and vegetables are much lower than the recommended intake by the World Health
Organization (WHO) of 400 grams.
Low intake of fruits and vegetables has been linked
to poor health and increased risk of non-communicable diseases and is among the
top 10 risk factors contributing to global mortality. According to WHO, an
estimated 5.2 million deaths worldwide were attributable to inadequate fruit
and vegetable consumption in 2013.
In the Philippines, mortality trends for
non-communicable diseases such as diseases of the heart and cancers have also
been increasing from 1958 to 2008 based on the Philippine Health Statistics
2008.
In contrast, while there has been a general decline
in the local consumption of fruits and vegetables, there is an increasing trend
in the demand for fruits and vegetables for exports with an average yearly
growth of about seven percent (7%) for the processed products from 2006-2010
according to the Department of Trade and Industry. From 2010 to 2014, there has
been a general increase in total crop production by volume according to the
Philippine Statistics Authority which included fruits and vegetables namely
banana, pineapple, mango, tomato, garlic, onion, cabbage, eggplant and
calamansi.
Thus, there is a need to promote fruits and
vegetable consumption at the local level through various medium such as
backyard and school gardening. There should also be support for local farmers
to improve production and produce better quality foods but with lower prices.
We can also push for innovative nutrition education on the benefits of fruits
and vegetables such as mainstream advertising in addition to conventional methods.
Message No.3 of the 2012 Nutritional Guideline for
Filipinos developed by a Technical Working Group led by the DOST-FNRI reminds
us to “eat more vegetables and fruits everyday to get the essential vitamins,
minerals and fiber for regulation of body processes.”

AgNor farmer-groups craft policy enhancement,
credit guidelines under APCP
By Gil E. Miranda
BUTUAN CITY, Mar. 27 - The Provincial Agrarian
Reform Office of Agusan del Norte conducted training on Credit and Lending
Policy Crafting and Enhancement for the leaders of five selected Agrarian
Reform Beneficiary Organizations (ARBOs) from different agrarian reform
communities in the province of Agusan del Norte held last March 16-17, 2017
here.
More than 60 participants consisted of coop leaders

participants’ ability to manage credit operation.
The five ARBOs included Rosario Agrarian Reform
Cooperatives (RARC); Jaguimitan Farmers Cooperative; San Antonio Integrated
Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative; Palmavera Small Coconut Farmer Beneficiaries
Cooperative; and Tagbuyacan Farmers Marketing Cooperative.
The said five ARBOs are among the very few ARBOs
who qualified the government credit program to agrarian reform beneficiaries
(ARBs) having the capability to extend
credit to their members.
APCP Coordinator Luningning Buque-Ycoy said that the agency intensifies
its effort in evaluating proposal for credit to ARBs under the DAR’s Agrarian
Production Credit Program (APCP) in partnership with the Department of
Agriculture and Land Bank of the Philippines.
According to Luning Buque-Ycoy that the activity is
designed to formulate a policy related to credit and lending operation of the
said cooperatives.
“The activity also assessed and reviewed the
cooperative’s existing practices and how to address some problems they
encountered related to credit and lending services to its members,” Ycoy added.

Tagalog News: ISDA-licious na pamalit sa karne
Ni Salvador R. Serrano
MANILA, Mar. 27 - Ang isda at ibang lamang-dagat o
seafoods ang karaniwan nating ipinapalit sa karne dahil karamihan sa mga ito ay
mas malusog na alternatibo na pagkukunan ng protina at ibang mga sustansiya.
Ngunit ang seafoods ay mas madaling masira kumpara
sa karne, kung kaya’t makatutulong ang mga tips para ma-preserve at ma-recycle
ang mga ito.
Bago tayo dumako dito, alamin muna natin ang
tungkol sa mga isda at lamang-dagat mula sa Your Guide to Good Nutrition ng
Department of Science and Technology’’s Food and Nutrition Institute ng o
DOST-FNRI.
Ang mga isda at shellfish gaya ng tahong, talaba,
hipon, alimango, alimasag at talangka ay kabilang sa mga pagkaing tagapagbuo ng
katawan o body-building foods. Kilala din ang mga ito bilang Grow foods.
Ang mga pagkaing ito ay mayaman sa protina na
kailangan sa pagbuo at pagsasaayos ng kalamnan o muscles ng ating katawan para
sa tamang paglaki.
Dahil dito, kailangan ng isang normal at malusog na
taong edad nineteen years old pataas ng tatlong dulot o servings ng isda o
shellfish bawat araw kung ito ang pangunahing pagkukunan ng protina sa araw na
iyon.
Ang isang serving
ng isda ay katumbas ng dalawang piraso na katamtaman ang laki, may
habang anim na pulgada o kalahati ng ruler, na tumitimbang ng 55 hanggang 60
gramo bawat isa. Katumbas din ito ng one-third
na tasang hinimay na shellfish gaya ng hipon o tahong.
Ang mga buntis at nagpapasuso ay nangangailangan ng
karagdagang one-fourth hanggang one-third
na serving ng isda at shellfish upang mabigyan ng karampatang protina
ang sanggol sa sinapupunan at ihanda ang katawan ng nanay sa “paggawa” ng gatas
pagkapanganak.
Kailangan din ng mga bata ang protina mula sa isda
para sa wastong paglaki. Gayundin, ang mabilis na pagbabago sa katawan at
hormones ng mga teenagers ay nangangailangan ng sapat na protina.
Ang mga isda, gaya ng bangus, talakitok at tilapia
at mga shellfish katulad ng tahong at talaba ay mayaman din sa taba na
nagbibigay ng enerhiya at lakas. Ang uri ng taba na ito ay madaling tunawin,
ayon sa Fish and other Seafoods ng FNRI.
Mayaman din sa bitamina A at riboflavin ang ibang
lamang-dagat gaya ng aligue ng alimango, alimasag at talangka na mainam sa malinaw
na paningin at normal na paglaki. Ang tahong naman, na lubhang mura ang presyo
pag napapanahon, ay maganda ring pagkunan ng riboflavin at thiamine para sa
maganang pagkain at normal na pagtunaw ng pagkain.
Dapat lamang mag-ingat ang mga taong mataas na ang
lebel ng kolesterol at presyon na umiwas sa aligue dahil sa taglay nitong
mataas na kolesterol.
Halimbawa naman ng mga isda na mayaman sa niacin na
importante sa normal na paglaki ay alumahan, galunggong, tambakol, tamban,
tsabita at tulingan.
Bukod dito, ang mga isda ay sagana din sa iodine o
yodo, na panlaban sa goiter, abnormalidad sa pag-iisip at pangangatawan ng mga
bata, at mga peligro sa pagbubuntis.
Ang mga pinatuyong maliliit na isda na nakakain ng
buo kasama ang tinik, gaya ng dilis, biya at danggit, ay mayaman sa calcium na
pampatibay ng mga na buto at ngipin. Ang kuhol, susong pilipit, hipong tagunton
at alamang ay mayaman din sa calcium.
Dumako naman tayo sa mga seaweeds. Ang mga ito ay
sagana sa iodine, iron, calcium at phosphorus. Ang phosphorus ay tumutulong sa
pagpapatibay ng ating mga buto at ngipin at pinapabilis ang pagdaloy ng
enerhiya para sa mga muscles. Ito rin ang nagdalala ng iba’t-ibang uri ng taba
sa dugo, at pinipigilan ang pagka-sakang o diperensya sa buto ng mga paa.
Sa pagbili naman ng mga isda at lamang-dagat, paano
natin malalaman na ang mga ito ay sariwa?
Ang isda ay sariwa kung ang balat o kaliskis nito
ay makintab at masinsin, matingkad ang pagka-pula ng hasang, malinaw at buo ang
mga mata, siksik o “firm” ang laman, hindi pa sobrang lansa ang amoy, at buo at
di sabog ang tiyan.
Para sa mga shellfish naman, kailangang sarado ang mga takip at
kulay gatas ang laman ng mga tulya at talaba, mabigat para sa laki nito at
siksik ang mga galamay ng mga alimango at alimasag, di masangsang ang amoy,
siksik at di kumakalas ang balat ng mga hipon.
Ngayong alam na natin ang tungkol sa sustansiya
mula sa mga isda at lamang-dagat, pati na ang pagpili ng sariwa nito, narito
ang mga tips para mapatagal ang buhay ng isda sa iba’t-ibang paraan.
Ang isang paraan ay pagpapatuyo.
•
Una, hugasang mabuti ang isda gaya ng bangus, dalag, hito, dilis o
tunsoy gamit ang malinis na tubig.
•
Tanggalin ang lamang-loob sa pamamagitan ng paghiwa sa kahabaan ng
tiyan. Sunod, ibabad ng tatlumpung minuto sa isang parte ng asin at siyam na
parte ng tubig upang matanggal ang dugo.
•
Ibabad muli sa solusyon na isang parte ng asin at limang parte ng tubig
sa loob ng isa hanggang anim na oras, depende sa laki, dami at alat na gusto.
•
Ipatong sa screen, mesh wire, hinabing rattan o kawayan at patuyuin sa
araw o sa solar dryer.
Ito naman ang paraan ng paggawa ng tinapa o
pina-usukang isda.
•
Hugasan ng mabuti ang isda gamit ang malinis na tubig.
•
Hiwain ang kubuuang haba ng likod at iwanang buo ang tiyan.
•
Tanggalin ang mga lamang-loob at dugo.
•
Hugasang mabuti at ibabad ng tatlumpung minuto sa kalahating tasa ng
asin at apat na tasa ng tubig.
•
Ilagay ang isda sa hinabing basket at ilubog sa kumukulong solusyon ng
anim na kutsarang asin sa bawat apat na
tasang tubig hanggang pumuti ang mga mata ng isda.
•
Ihilera ang isda sa mga smoking trays
at patuyuin ng sampung minuto.
•
Patuyuin ang isda sa isang malamig at malilim na lugar sa loob ng
tatlong oras bago pausukan.
•
Pausukan ang isda sa temperaturang 32 hanggang 38 degrees
Centigrade sa loob ng isa hanggang
dalawang oras, o hanggang maging golden brown
ang kulay.
•
Palamigin at lagyan ng mantika sa ibabaw gamit ang brush.
Ang isa pang paraan para tumagal ang isda ay
paggawa ng bagoong.
•
Una, hugasan ang dilis, sapsap, ayungin o anumang maliliit na isda ang
nais sa malinis na tubig.
•
Sa bawat tatlong tasa ng isda, lagyan ng isang tasa ng asin at haluing
mabuti.
•
Ilagay sa palayok o earthen jars.
•
Takpan ng mabuti upang di mapasok ng insekto, peste o anumang dumi.
•
Patagalin ng dalawang linggo hanggang isang taon, depende sa lasa at
amoy na nais.
Bukod dito, maaari ding gamitin ang mga tirang ulam
na isda bilang sahog sa sarciado, escabeche, en tocho, cardillo, fish balls o
torta.
Ang mga tirang ibang lamang-dagat naman ay pwede pa
ring ihalo sa adobo, torta at gisadong gulay.
Laging tatandaan na ang isda at lamang-dagat ay di
lamang dapat madalas na tinatangkilik tuwing Mahal na Araw dahil ang mga ito ay
ang mas malusog na alternatibo sa karne sa kahit anong araw.

Tagalog News: Sa itlog panalo ang nutrisyon at
kalusugan, pati na rin negosyo
Ni Czarina Teresita S. Martinez
MANILA, Mar. 27 (PIA) - Ayon sa pag-aaral na ginawa
ng Department of Science and Technology, Food and Nutrition Research
Institute (DOST-FNRI), ang pagkain ng isang itlog araw-araw ay
mainam sa ating kalusugan at maayos na pangagatawan.
Ang itlog ay mayaman sa protina na tumutulong sa
pagbuo ng ating katawan. May taglay din itong fats na nakakapagbigay lakas at
enerhiya.
Ang itlog ay mayaman din sa bitamina at mineral
tulad ng:
-
bitamina A na tumutulong upang maging malinaw ang ating mga mata;
-
bitamina B na tumutulong labanan ang panghihina ng katawan;
-
iron na tumutulong upang maging mapula at malusog ang dugo;
-
calcium na tumutulong na maging matibay ang mga buto; at
-
phosphorus na tumutulong maging malusog ang ating buto at kalamnan o
muscles.
Ang sustansya ng isang katamtamang laki ng itlog ay
maihahalintulad sa karne na kasing-laki ng kaha ng posporo, o 1/4 na pitso ng
manok o isang drumstick ng manok, o 3 kutsara ng corned beef, o isang
kuwadradong tokwa o 1/3 tasa ng butong
gulay tulad ng munggo, kadios, o utaw.
Ang itlog ay pasok sa budget ng pamilyang Filipino.
Kaya’t hikayatin si nanay na ugaliing maghain ng itlog araw-araw. Maaari itong
iluto ng malasado o soft cooked egg, lutung-luto o hard cooked egg, binati o
scrambled egg, prito o sunny side-up o kaya ay sari-saring luto ng torta.
Sa pagbili ng itlog, piliin ang mga may malinis na
balat. Subalit kung hindi maiwasan at nakabili ng itlog na may kaunting dumi
ang balat, kaagad iinisin ito ng bahagyang nabasang pamunas at patuyuin agad at
unahin itong iluto. Siguraduhin din na walang lamat ang balat ng itlog.
Sakaling nagkaroon ng lamat ang balat, kaagad itong iluto.
Ayon sa datos ng DOST-FNRI 8th National Nutrition
Survey, Dietary Survey: Household Food Consumption, 4 sa bawat 10 households ay
kumukonsumo ng itlog araw-araw. Sa paghahanda at pagluluto ng itlog, walang
naitalang food wastage sa itlog ang survey na ginawa noong 2003 at 2008. Kung
mayroon mang nasayang na itlog, ang dami nito ay napakaliit upang maramdaman.
Maaari nating sabihing walang sayang sa itlog.
Sa ginawang pag-aaral ni Dr. Celeste C. Tanchoco,
DOST Scientist at dati ring Division Chief ng Nutrition Research and
Developement Division ng DOST-FNRI, iminumungkahi ang pagkonsumo ng isang itlog
araw-araw sa mga taong normal ang blood cholesterol level at sa mga lumalaking
bata.
Sa pagsulong sa rekomendasyon ng DOST-FNRI na “An
egg a day is OK”, kinikinitang tataas
ang konsumo ng itlog. Ayon sa tala ng National Statistics Office ng 2015, ang
populasyon ng Pilipinas ay nasa 100 milyon at 32 milyon dito ay mga batang may
edad 0-14 taong gulang. Sa makatuwid kinakailangan natin ng 32 milyong itlog
araw-araw o tinatayang 11 bilyong itlog sa isang taon para sa mga bata pa
lamang.
Naitala sa Country STAT Philipppines, Philippines
Statistical Authority 2015, na ang produksiyong ng itlong ng manok ay umabot sa
444,500 metric ton na makapagbibigay hanapbuhay sa ating mamamayan sa
kanayunan. Ang rekomendasyon ng DOST-FNRI na “An egg a day is OK” ay
makatutulong sa pagbibigay daan sa pag-sulong ng pagnenegosyo ng itlog.
