Nutrition Month 2026

With the inspiring theme, "Pagsibol ng Bagong Ako," the DATRC CALABARZON, spearheaded by Mr. Francisimo M. Vince Cruz, successfully celebrated the Nutrition Month with our outpatient and aftercare patients, emphasizing that meaningful transformation does not happen overnight; begins with small, consistent steps rooted in healthy choices, self-care, and hope.

This meaningful celebration was made possible through the collaboration with the Provincial Office of Cavite, KOICA, and PhilKOFA, whose generous sponsorship of gardening kits reinforces our shared commitment to environmental stewardship, food security, nutrition sustainability, and accessible sources of healthy food.

Our participants were empowered through informative and engaging lectures:

🥗 "Eat Well, Heal Well" by Marydel L. Pili, RND, Nutrition Officer II, highlighting the vital role of proper nutrition in recovery and overall wellness.

🌿 "Caring for Yourself, Caring for the Earth" by Liberty G. Guzman, RND, MPH Nutritionist-Dietitian II, emphasizing that caring for our environment goes hand in hand with caring for our health.

🦷 Oral Health Education by Dra .Cristina Lim, reminding everyone that a healthy smile is an essential part of a healthy body and a better quality of life.

🌱 Dessa May Alibangbang, RND, MPH, Nutrition Officer III, further inspired participants by discussing the importance of home gardening and demonstrated how the provided garden kits can become sustainable sources of nutritious food for every household.

The highlight of the activity was the distribution of gardening kits, symbolizing not only the planting of vegetables but also the planting of healthier habits, resilience, and renewed hope for every participant.

Together, we continue to nurture healthier individuals, stronger communities, and a greener future.

IDADAIT Celebration with Cavite State University | June 26, 2026

Our team celebrated the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (IDADAIT) at Cavite State University–Trece Martires City Campus by facilitating educational discussions that promoted drug prevention, mental health awareness, and informed decision-making among students.

The activity featured discussions on Drug Addiction as a Disease, Mental Health Awareness, and emphasized the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (Republic Act No. 9165). These topics aimed to equip students with accurate information on the effects of substance use, the importance of mental well-being, and the legal framework supporting drug prevention and rehabilitation in the country.

Participants also took part in a movement therapy session, which encouraged self-expression, emotional wellness, and active engagement.

Observed every 26th day of June, the said celebration serves as a global call to strengthen action and cooperation in achieving a world free from drug abuse. This highlights the importance of prevention through education, promotes evidence-based interventions, and encourages communities to work together in supporting individuals and families affected by substance use.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Cavite State University–Trece Martires City Campus for the opportunity to be part of this meaningful celebration and for its continued commitment to fostering informed, healthy, and drug-free communities.

🏳️‍🌈 Embracing Diversity, Cultivating Safe Spaces 🏳️‍🌈

At DOH-DATRC CALABARZON, we believe that true recovery and wellness can only flourish in an environment built on acceptance, respect, and deep understanding. This Pride Month, our team actively stepped out to strengthen our commitment to inclusive care.

Here’s a look at how we celebrated and learned this June:

🧠 Q***r Mental Health Conference 2026: Members of our GAD Committee attended this groundbreaking conference at Ateneo de Manila University. We dived deep into the current state of the LGBTQIA+ community in the Philippines and explored the latest local research on q***r mental health. Continuous learning allows us to better tailor our interventions for diverse populations.

📸 Pride in Recovery: Back home at DATRC CALABARZON, we held a mini-celebration! Our staff engaged with colorful, informative LGBTQIA+-themed infographics and attire, capturing moments together to show that our facility stands as a safe, affirming space for all.

We return to our Center with sharper tools, broader perspectives, and a renewed dedication to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and gender-affirming care to everyone we serve.

We have Pride in recovering hope and renewing lives.
