Legarda urges more LGUs to commit to UN disaster-resilient cities campaign as Region 7 makes its pledge
Senator Loren Legarda today called on local government units (LGUs) to start the year right by joining the “Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready!” campaign of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) to ensure that their communities are disaster resilient.
Legarda made the call as over 100 local executives from Region VII, mostly from the Province of Cebu, are set to commit to the UN’s Ten Essential Actions to Reduce Disaster Risks during the launch of the program in Cebu City on January 13.
“I laud the leaders of the cities and municipalities in the various provinces of Region VII as they sign-up for this campaign, and I encourage those who have not yet participated to make climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction part of their agenda,” she said.
“The year 2011 started with thousands of our people already suffering from the effects of continuous rains in Visayas and Mindanao. As we are in the midst of La NiΓ±a, we would be experiencing heavier and more constant rains and intense typhoons. This serves as a warning to us of what we should expect in the coming days and months. The UN campaign will help us become more prepared when disasters occur,” she added.
The sign-up event is being organized by the Province of Cebu, the League of Mayors of Cebu, the League of Vice Mayors of Cebu, the Philippine Senate, the UNISDR, PLAN International, and the Office of Civil Defense.
Legarda said that after the campaign launch in Cebu, LGUs in Metro Manila will also commit to the Ten Essentials in a sign up ceremony in February.
The Senator explained that the Ten Essentials include investing more in disaster risk reduction, preparing and sharing risk assessments, ensuring early warning systems are in place, and protecting ecosystems to reduce the impact of floods, cyclones, and storm surges, among other natural hazards.
“We must prepare our people to adapt to a changing climate. We have to learn from the lessons of devastating disasters we have experienced year in, year out. We should start the year with a firm resolve of not tolerating any casualties or losses,” Legarda concluded. (Office of Senator Loren Legarda/PIA-Caraga)
Legarda: Promotion of breastfeeding will help achieve MDG of reducing child mortality rate
As the nation continues to work for the achievement of the United Nations’ eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Senator Loren Legarda today pushed for a more focused campaign on the promotion of breastfeeding as a way to help attain goal number four—the reduction of child mortality rate.
“According to the World Health Organization (WHO), poor nutrition is associated with over 50% of deaths in children under the age of five. Furthermore, the lack of exclusive breastfeeding of infants during the first six months have found to have contributed much to more than a million child deaths each year, which can be reduced with appropriate feeding,” Legarda said.
The Senator noted a WHO study that shows the benefits of breastfeeding on infant mortality. Based on the study, exclusive breastfeeding among infants aged 0-3 months prevents 55% of infant deaths due to diarrhea and acute respiratory infections. Meanwhile, 32% of such deaths could be prevented with partial breastfeeding among infants aged 4-11 months. This protection from common childhood sicknesses is possible because breast milk contains antibodies, which infant formula lacks.

This protection from common childhood sicknesses is possible because breast milk contains antibodies, which infant formula lacks.
.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) also recommends that infants be restricted to breastfeeding for the first six months of their life because it is one of the most powerful tools available to ensure good nutrition and healthy development of newborn children.
Studies have also revealed that breastfeeding brings mothers several health benefits, such as reduced risks of acquiring breast and ovarian cancer, faster restoration of pre-pregnancy weight, and less probability of being obese.
To ensure that all infants, and even mothers, are able to get all the abovementioned benefits from breastfeeding and its many other positive effects, Legarda filed Senate Bill 2627, the Breastfeeding Promotion Act.
She explained that the main objective of her proposed legislation is to contribute to the provision of safe and adequate nutrition for infants by the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding and by ensuring the proper use of breast milk substitutes when these are necessary, on the basis of adequate information and through appropriate marketing and distribution.
“A serious campaign on the promotion of breastfeeding should be implemented so that everyone may well be aware that breast milk not only satisfies the hunger of infants and toddlers, but also ensures better health and improved development of both mothers and their children,” Legarda stressed.
