TOWARDS A GENDER-INCLUSIVE LDNHS!

Lucena Dalahican National High School, through the Gender Awareness and Development (GAD) Focal Point System, present a webinar series entitled "Gender Inclusivity in the School."

Starting on 3 October, the series will explore the psychological, sociological, and legal bases of gender-inclusive and responsive education.

This program is a commitment of LDNHS and GFPS to DepEd Order 32 Series of 2017 or the enclosed Gender-Responsive Basic Education Policy.

The Philippines was ranked 17th out of 156 countries in the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global Gender Gap Report 2021, down one place from the previous year but still among the top performers in the Asia Pacific region.

Get to know some amazing Filipinas in STEM in our special series, "Making Space For Us."

National Cancer Consciousness Week is observed every third week of January by virtue of Proclamation No. 1348

Cancer is a major public health threat worldwide. It is a killer disease when not detected early and poses a burden on patients, families, communities, sectors of the society, and the national development of the country.

The Philippine Commission on women encourages all Juanas and Juans to follow these 10 tips to prevent or avoid cancer.

1. Avoid to***co in all its forms, including exposure to secondhand smoke. You don't have to be an international scientist to understand how you can try to protect yourself and your family.

2. Eat properly. Reduce your consumption of saturated fat and red meat, which may increase the risk of colon cancer and a more aggressive form of prostate cancer. Increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

3. Exercise regularly. Physical activity has been linked to a reduced risk of colon cancer. Exercise also appears to reduce a woman's risk of breast and possibly reproductive cancers. Exercise will help protect you even if you don't lose weight.

4. Stay lean. Obesity increases the risk of many forms of cancer. Calories count; if you need to slim down, take in fewer calories, and burn more with exercise.

5. If you choose to drink, limit yourself to an average of one drink a day. Excess alcohol increases the risk of cancers of the mouth, larynx (voice box), esophagus (food pipe), liver, and colon; it also increases a woman's risk of breast cancer. Smoking further increases the risk of many alcohol-induced malignancies.

6. Avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation. Get medical imaging studies only when you need them. Check your home for residential radon, which increases the risk of lung cancer. Protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, which increases the risk of melanomas and other skin cancers. But don't worry about electromagnetic radiation from high-voltage power lines or radiofrequency radiation from microwaves and cell phones. They do not cause cancer.

7. Avoid exposure to industrial and environmental toxins such as asbestos fibers, benzene, aromatic amines, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

8. Avoid infections that contribute to cancer, including hepatitis viruses, HIV, and human papillomavirus. Many are transmitted sexually or through contaminated needles.

9. Make quality sleep a priority. Admittedly, the evidence linking sleep to cancer is not strong. But poor and insufficient sleep increases are associated with weight gain, which is a cancer risk factor.

10. Get enough vitamin D. Many experts now recommend 800 to 1,000 IU a day, a goal that's nearly impossible to attain without taking a supplement. Although protection is far from proven, evidence suggests that vitamin D may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer, colon cancer, and other malignancies. But don't count on other supplements.

Remember, prevention is better and way cheaper than cure.
