Alam ba ninyo na ang pagpapasuso ay hindi lamang mainam para sa sanggol kundi maging sa nanay na nagpapasuso?
Ang gatas ng nanay ay nagtataglay ng tamang sustansiya na kailangan ng isang sanggol para sa kanyang paglaki. Ang batang pinapasuso ay lumalaking masigla, malusog at hindi sakitin.
Para naman sa nga nanay na nagpapasuso, ang gawaing ito ay makatutulong upang makatipid sa oras at pera. Ang pagpapasuso ay nakatutulong din upang bumalik sa tamang timbang ang mga nanay na tumaba habang nagbubuntis.
Ang Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos na binalangkas sa pamumunong FNRI-DOST ay nagrerekomenda na pasusuhin ang sanggol ng gatas ng ina lamang mula pagkasilang hanggang anim na buwan, at saka bigyan ng mga angkop na pagkain habang pinapasuso pa.
Ang gatas ng ina ay maaari ring i-express o palabasin, ilagay sa malinis na bote at iimbak sa refrigerator o sisidlan na may yelo para susuhin ni baby habang nasa trabaho o may lakad si nanay.
Napakaraming kabutihang dulot ng pagpapasuso para sa sanggol at sa nanay kaya hinihikayat na ang bawa’t nanay ay magpasuso ng kanyang sanggol.

P7.3 M released for emergency employment and livelihood project of GFC affected workers in Caraga
A total of P7,383,421 was released by DOLE Caraga to accredited co-partners and organizations for the emergency employment of workers affected by global financial crisis and for the livelihood projects of their families and dependents. Thirteen(13) LGUs all over the region were provided funds for the 22 days emergency employment of around 1,500 displaced workers under Tulong Pangkabuhayan Para sa ating Displaced Workers (TUPAD); 349 workers and their dependents who want to venture into fishing industry were provided financial assistance under Integrated Services Livelihood Assistance (ISLA); and 1,600 were assisted in their existing livelihood projects.
As early as January this year, DOLE Caraga has been focusing its intervention to the GFC affected workers and their families. The old figure of 7,000 GFC affected workers all over the region has now become 4,953 after the series of interventions done. This means there are about 3,423 retrenched workers and 1,530 under flexible working arrangements. Appropriate interventions for these remaining affected workers will be our primary focus in the 3rd quarter of this year.
DOLE Caraga exerted all its efforts to deliver services to the displaced workers and helped mitigate the situation of every family affected. Aside from the emergency employment and livelihood intervention, the following varied programs and services were provided:
• As of may 15, 2009, 2,266 displaced workers were profiled and counseled based on the list submitted to DOLE but actualized in the plant level. With proper and effective monitoring and field visits, some of the reported displaced workers have already left their workplaces after the displacement so they were not profiled.
• Three Industrial Peace Councils in the mining, wood-based, and plantation sectors were created to directly assist and monitor effects of global financial crisis and recommend doable solutions to DOLE, LGUs and other employment stakeholders.
• Three SERBISYO Caravans were conducted to bring DOLE services to the LGUs and companies where displacement occurs.
• 5 job fairs were especially conducted to cater displaced workers and their dependents where around 500 were hired on the spot and more than 1,000 qualified for further assessment.
• 24/7 assistance/call centers were installed in DOLE and attached agencies’ offices to cater immediate concerns on GFC affected workers locally and overseas.
Amidst economic crisis, there are 9 companies (5 mining, 3 wood-based and 1 plantation) recently recovered back to their normal operations and rehired 3,184 workers. There are also 8 companies (5 mining, 2 plantation and 1 wood-based) which hired 839 new workers. This only shows that Caraga could still hope and look forward to more “bright spots” like the ones mentioned.
More interventions will be provided not only by DOLE but also by other government agencies to the remaining GFC affected workers and their families this coming Independence Day Celebration covering release of at least 72 DOLE, OWWA and DSWD livelihood checks, 8,000 employment contracts from various government agencies , 150 NARS training contracts and 50 PGMA scholarship coupons. Other services include job and trade fair, legal services, employment advisory and counseling, promo diskwento, and one-stop-shop processing of DFA, NBI, SSS, NSO, Philhealth, NERBAC and PAG-IBIG documents.
