In celebration of World Polio Day, the Department of Health – Central Luzon together with the Provincial Government of Bulacan through the Provincial Health Office – Public Health teamed up and launched Kapitolyo for Life: 7 Healthy Habits last Saturday at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium.

It featured activities that will promote healthy living lifestyle such as Libreng Gupit and Libreng Masahe, and Zumba Marathon that was participated by City and Municipal Health Staff, Barangay Health Workers, Rotary Club District 3770, PNP Bulacan and PGB Employees.
Meanwhile, Vice Governor Alexis C. Castro advised the Bulakenyos to always put their health on top of their priority list.
“Pangunahin po sa ating prayoridad ay ang pagtalakay sa ating kalusugan sapagkat sa pamamagitan ng malakas na katawan ay nagagawa natin ang mga bagay na nakakatulong sa ating pagsulong. Sa pamamagitan ng maayos na kalusugan ay binibigyan natin ng mas malalim na kahulugan ang ating buhay. Bilang kasapi ng pamayanan ay mayroon tayong obligasyon—obligasyon na panatilihing malusog ang ating mga sarili,” Castro said.
The event was attended also by the Governor’s Office Chief of Staff Atty. Nikki Manuel S. Coronel, Provincial Health Officer I Edwin P. Tecson, DOH Health Education and Promotion Officer III Theresa Marie Bondoc and Rotary International District 3770 Governor Rodolfo DC. Enriquez.
