H2H: Hataw Health Festival Launch
By June Yasol of Team BGS NNO+HHO
The 1000 cities, 1000 lives campaign for World Health Day 2010 by the World Health Organization calls upon all cities worldwide to open up portions of streets to the people to promote health activities for one day during the week of 7-11 April 2010. In celebration of World Health Day 2010, the Parañaque City Government under the leadership of Mayor Florencio Bernabe, Jr. launches a health festival called H2H: Hataw Health Festival for this month of April and veering from a festive fireworks display, the launch was dramatized by flying a Mini-Hot Air Balloon. Parallel to the World Health Day 2010 “1,000 Cities, 1,000 Lives” objectives, the city government aims to accomplish the following goals: Promote health and environmental protection; and train students, youth and the rest of the citizenry in integrating health and environment in cultural development. Guided by the theme, “Kulturang Kalusugan: Parañaque City’s Celebration of Culture, Health and Environment”, the city administration has prepared a line of productive activities that will redound to the benefit of the citizens. Workshops in the visual arts; theater; music; film; literature; architecture and allied arts; and dance for students, out-of-school youth and adults will be held from April 7-10, 2010 at the Parañaque National High School (PNHS) Main Campus in Brgy. San Dionisio, this city. Registration for the workshops was held on April 5, 2010 from 10:00A.M – 12:00 P.M. at the San Antonio Gym. The outputs of the said workshops which will highlight these festivity in the seven arts will be celebrated on April 11, 2010 in a grand street presentation. According to City Public Information Office, preparations are on the works for the H2H: Hataw Health Festival, a committee was organized composed of the following departments in the Parañaque City Government organization: Office of the Mayor; City Health; Planning; Public Information; Youth and Sports; Social Welfare and Development; Tourism; Engineering; Livelihood Resource Management; Building; Traffic Management; local PNP; Parañaque DepEd and PNHS; and Solid Waste & Environmental Sanitation Office. The committee is headed by City Health Officer Dr. Olga Virtusio.

I'm with Nick on this one June. Couldn't say it better. By the way, how does one get the "~" over the "n" like that. Or do I need a special keyboard?
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Thanks for the comment... regarding the "~" over the "n", you have to type first at word document your article, where you can insert symbol-special characters, then copy and paste to wherever, like this- ñ, that simple.
What an excellent idea, this festival. Thanks for letting us know about this encouraging and proactive approach to health.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY

Thank you for sharing this celebration with us, June. Too bad we can't get the media to promote more of this good news.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes.
