The passage of the Universal Health Care (UHC) law paved the way for the strengthening of
national efforts in scaling up interventions to improve health literacy and mainstream health
promotion in the Philippines. With its vision to provide a wide array of accessible, equitable,
efficient, and adequate public health services through numerous health reforms, the UHC
continues to motivate and empower Filipinos to live healthier lives. One of the key
components in fully realizing the tenets of the UHC is the adoption and expansion of health
promotion across the nation, underscoring the need to fortify existing strategies to ensure
that they are responsive to the needs of the local communities in the promotion of health in
the country. Hence, the Health Promotion Framework Strategy (HPFS) was created.

Regional Local Health Support Division Chief Jimuel S. Cardenas who led the opening and awarding
of cash prizes encouraged students not to indulge in any unhealthy habit such as smoking, drinking
and most of all the use of illegal substance.
“Bigyan ninyo ng halaga ang inyong pag-aaral dahil dito nakasalalay ang inyong kinabukasan. Iwasan
ninyo ang mga kaibigan o mga taong magtutulak sa inyo upang magkaroon ng masamang bisyo.
Always say “no” to unhealthy habits,” he stated.
Cardenas also thanked the local government of Infanta for facilitating the implementation of the
event.
The “Beat the Bisyo race” is a game where a team of students will be given a map that will take them
to specific locations in the community where they will be given questions to answer and various tasks
to perform until they reach the finish line. The first team to complete the tasks wins.
Infanta Mayor Marvin M. Martinez also reminded students to avoid vices while they are young and
instead concentrate on their studies and have a goal and strive to achieve it.
“Libre naman po ang mangarap at pagsikapan po natin na ito ay maabot sa pamamagitan ng
pagsusumikap at pangangalaga sa sarili,” he encouraged.
The municipality of Infanta is one of the first 200 LGUs given the National Anti-Drug Abuse Council
Performance Award for effectively carrying out its duties and responsibilities in complementing the
national government’s drive against illegal drugs in 2020.
The “Beat the Bisyo Race” is part of the strategy in implementing the Health Promotion Framework
Strategy and is being implemented by the Regional Health Promotion Unit under the leadership of
Cheryl D. Buhong with the mission of making healthy behaviors the easier choice by everyone, every
time, everywhere for a Healthy Pilipinas.
