Eco-Waste Management Expo 2018

I was privileged to be invited to attend the 4TH ECO-WASTE MANAGEMENT SUMMIT held last January 25 – 27, 2018 at the ABS-CBN Vertis Tent, Quezon City. Waste management is something close to my heart and I was really glad I was there. Our family does our fair share in reducing, recycling and reusing but I know there are more that we can do and I learned quite a few during the summit.

This year’s theme was “Strengthening Cooperation And Partnerships On Ecological Solid Waste Management For The Present And Future Generations”. The event aims to further boost the DENR’s continuous efforts in enhancing public awareness and understanding of environmental issues and concerns, focusing on practical knowledge for effective solid waste management at source, which includes waste segregation, composting, and recycling. Because really, the government cannot do it alone. The public, the government and the private sector must work together so we can prevent our waste from outnumbering us – humans.

This government initiative enjoins a stronger partnership with all stake-holders, local governments, communities, private businesses, and the public. An increased awareness and commitment on effective waste management creates a future where citizens enjoy an unpolluted environment, sustainable, and secure from natural calamities. To achieve this, the summit presented an interactive program that aimed to inform, instruct, and inspire participants to take the lead towards a cleaner and greener world. I was really inspired from all the recycled products that I saw there. Kay gaganda ng mga baskets and other home decors na nakita ko, hindi mo aakalaing made of recycled paper!

Hakab Na! 2017 is Happening Tomorrow

Can I just say, ang sarap mag-anak uli sa mga panahong ito! New baby gadgets can be found here and there. Sa dami ng mga bago, ang hirap na ngang mamili! At hindi lang para kay baby yan, pati para kay nanay, ang dami-dami na ring anik anik na available. I remembered my youngest sister wished for a nursing pillow. And I was like, what?! Ten years ago, wala ata nun, or maybe I am not just aware, or that it was not that popular back then as it is now.

At bukod sa mga bago at mas cute na gamit existing today, one of the major differences I can see with breastfeeding specifically is that, it is slowly becoming the NORM. Yes, finally! It is not yet there, but it is getting there. Slowly but surely.

So August is National Breastfeeding Month. And to celebrate, Breastfeeding Pinays, the online support group of over 180,000 mothers, is hosting Hakab Na! 2017 tomorrow, August 5, 2017. It will be held in Smart-Araneta Coliseum, Cubao, Quezon City.

Now on its fifth year, Hakab Na! 2017 will gather breastfeeding families, lactation experts, peer counselors, and breastfeeding advocacy supporters, to boost awareness of the health and economic benefits of breastfeeding, promote the importance of providing proper support to breastfeeding mothers and ultimately, create a breastfeeding nation.
