COLLABORATING FOR HEALTH: RHU Kabasalan Supports Kabadi's Implementation Phase
Today, June 23, 2025, we visited the Rural Health Unit (RHU) of Kabasalan to consult with Dr. Eric Cabayacruz, the Municipal Health Officer (MHO) of Kabasalan, regarding our health interventions for the Implementation Phase of our program.
Dr. Cabayacruz shared valuable insights on how we could further improve our interventions and expressed his full support for our ongoing health programs. He also provided us with Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials in the form of posters featuring the most common health problems identified in Barangay Banker. These will greatly aid us in educating and raising awareness within the community.
Thank you very much, Dr. Eric Cabayacruz, and to all the RHU staff, for warmly welcoming and supporting the Kabadis in our mission to promote better health in Barangay Banker!

Kabadis with Dr. Noel Herrera Jr., current president of Rotary Club of Ipil-Sibugay!
Rotary Club of Ipil-Sibugay is one of the most prestigious and active organizations promoting health and well-being in Zamboanga Sibugay. One of their key advocacies is improving children’s health through vaccination. In line with this, we—the Kabadis of Stronger Banker—have partnered with them to implement health interventions focused on increasing the number of Fully Immunized Children (FIC) in Barangay Banker.
Daghang salamat, Dr. Noel Herrera Jr., and to the entire Rotary Club of Ipil-Sibugay for your commitment to supporting our initiatives. May the Magic of Rotary live on as we work hand in hand to make Barangay Banker STRONGER and HEALTHIER!

Meeting with the Barangay Officials and Barangay Health Workers of Barangay Banker
𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀, 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮'𝗮𝗺 𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲—𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿—𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗛𝗪𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲.
During the meeting, we discussed the proposed activities for each identified health problem, the tentative schedules, and requested their support to ensure the success of these initiatives. We also initiated the designation of assigned individuals in each purok to assist the BHWs in disseminating information on immunization schedules and in tracking children who have missed their vaccinations. This intervention aims to foster a collaborative effort within the community, emphasizing that the health and well-being of children is not solely the responsibility of healthcare workers such as the BHWs, but a shared concern of the entire community.
We are truly grateful to have such supportive Kabadis, who committed to being involved and cooperative—not only during the conduct of health activities but also in sustaining them for long-term impact

Today, the Kabadis participated in the Prenatal and Immunization Day held at Purok 1, Barangay Banker.
Joining us were Ma’am Heroncia Escarpe, the barangay’s midwife, and several Barangay Health Workers (BHWs).
During the activity, the Kabadis took the opportunity to assist the midwife in assessing pregnant women and administering immunizations to children. We also conducted health education sessions for pregnant women and mothers about Facility-Based Delivery and Childhood Immunization. Informative flyers on these topics were distributed as part of our ongoing programs on Facility-Based Delivery and Childhood Immunization.
We’re happy to see expectant mothers following their prenatal check-up schedules and parents bringing their children in for timely vaccinations. While a few children had delayed immunizations—mainly due to missed previous appointments and vaccine shortages—we still recorded 4 Fully Immunized Children (FIC) today!
Thank you so much, RHU and Barangay Banker, for allowing us to be part of this health-promoting activity and helping raise awareness on Facility-Based Deliveries and Childhood Immunization!

Health Teaching Seminar About Hypertension and Mass BP Check-Up for Senior Citizens
Today, the Kabadis participated in the monthly Senior Citizen Assembly at Barangay Banker, Kabasalan. We offered free Blood Pressure Check-Ups to our beloved senior citizens.
After the check-ups, we conducted a Health Teaching Seminar on Hypertension and facilitated the Election of Hypertension Club Officers. These activities are part of our ongoing efforts to combat Uncontrolled Hypertension in Barangay Banker.
During the seminar, the Kabadis shared essential information about hypertension—what it is, its signs and symptoms, possible complications, danger signs, proper interventions, and how it can be prevented through lifestyle modifications.
We also introduced the Hypertension Club and its Membership ID. This club will be composed of diagnosed hypertensives from Barangay Banker and is part of a project we are currently finalizing in partnership with the RHU of Kabasalan.
Daghang Salamat to our dear senior citizens, especially to Sir Julio Cadeliña, President of the Senior Citizen Club, for allowing us to render our service during your assembly. Daghang salamat usab sa tanan nga mi-apil sa among programa karong adlawa. Sana may natutunan po kayo!

Meeting with the Barangay Officials and Purok Leaders for the Childhood Immunization Information Dissemination
On July 5 and 9, the Kabadis conducted meetings with Barangay Officials and Purok Leaders to discuss more effective ways of disseminating information about Childhood Immunization.
Previously, it was only the Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) who were responsible for informing parents about the vaccination schedules. They usually did this through house-to-house announcements, especially in remote areas without cellphone signal for text or social media.
Because of this, the Kabadis proposed a new system—involving the Purok Leaders in spreading the information. With this, the need for BHWs to go house-to-house can be reduced.
The Kabadis also emphasized the importance of repeated reminders to parents so they won’t forget their child’s vaccination schedule. In the said meeting, the Purok Leaders promised to remind the parents a few days before the scheduled vaccination.
It’s true—progress in health can be achieved when everyone in the barangay works together!
We must all help each other to achieve a NEW BEGINNING for all Kabadis of Banker!
Let’s say YES to a healthier and STRONGER BANKER!
July 9, 2025
Elected Officers for the Hypertension Club
Today, the Kabadis held the election of officers for the Hypertension Club in Barangay Banker.
This election and the club itself are open to all diagnosed hypertensives aged 25 and above.
Here are the newly elected officers of the Hypertension Club:
The duties of the club officers include organizing activities that promote healthy lifestyle modifications and raising awareness about hypertension in the community.
The formation of the Hypertension Club and the distribution of Membership IDs is a project currently being finalized with the RHU (Rural Health Unit) of Kabasalan, in line with Administrative Order No. 2016-0014, titled:
"Implementing Guidelines on the Organization of Health Clubs for Patients with Hypertension and Diabetes in Health Facilities."
We hope that the elected officers will become an inspiration and leaders for the hypertensives in the barangay, promote good health, and show concern for the state of hypertension in their community.
Let us continue our efforts for a healthy and empowered community!
We must all help each other to achieve a NEW BEGINNING for all Kabadis of Banker!
Let’s say YES to a healthier and STRONGER BANKER!

The Kabadis proudly took part in Kabasalan’s Municipal-Wide Nutrition Month Celebration, a vibrant and meaningful event centered on the theme:
“Food and Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!”
Held with great enthusiasm, the celebration brought together leaders, health advocates, and community members in a shared mission to promote food and nutrition security as a basic human right. Among the key figures present were:
👩🏻⚖️ Hon. Katrina Balladares – Municipal Mayor of Kabasalan
🏛️ Hon. Cong. Marly Hofer T. Hasim – Representative of the 2nd District of Zamboanga Sibugay
🩺 Dr. Eric Cabayacruz – Municipal Health Officer

The celebration featured a variety of exciting and educational competitions, grouped per cluster (with each cluster composed of 3–4 barangays). These included the TikTok Dance Contest and the Booth Display Competition, where each cluster showcased their creativity and commitment to healthy eating and sustainable agriculture.
The Kabadis were thrilled to witness and actively support Cluster 3, which includes Barangays Sanghanan, Banker, Goodyear, and Tampilisan—home to many of our very own volunteers and friends!
One of the highlights of the day was the Salu-Salo during lunchtime, where participants joyfully shared homemade nutritious meals, most of which came straight from their booth exhibits. This heartwarming activity perfectly embodied this year’s theme, reinforcing the idea that access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food is not just a need—but a right.
The event was a true celebration of unity, wellness, and people empowerment. It reminded us all that health starts with what we put on our plates, and that ensuring every family’s access to nutritious food must be a shared priority.
To our beloved Municipality of Kabasalan—daghang salamat for the warm invitation and inspiring celebration! The Kabadis deeply appreciated the lively performances, strong sense of community, and unwavering dedication to nutrition advocacy.
Padayon ta sa pag-amuma sa atong katawhan ug kaayong panglawas!

UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE OF ADDICTION -- A Lecture by Dr. Eric Cabayacruz
The Kabadis of Barangay Banker, together with Team GRACE of Barangay Goodyear, had the opportunity to attend an insightful lecture on Drug Addiction by the ever-passionate Dr. Eric Cabayacruz.
