Teen Things About Me

Thank you, Zuellig Family Foundation. It is our pleasure to collaborate with you in strengthening our shared efforts to reduce teenage pregnancy. Together, we move closer to building healthier, empowered communities for our adolescents.

🌸 Thank you so much for the invite Brgy. Tayud! 🌸 11/8/2025

Grateful to be part of the Early Teenage Pregnancy Symposium — a meaningful event that helps teens make smart, healthy, and informed choices about their future.

Let’s keep the conversation going and continue empowering young people to know themselves better, make wise decisions, and build brighter tomorrows!

Consent means actively agreeing to be sexual with someone. It:

✅must be freely given
✅must be explicit in words or actions
✅must be specific to each act
✅can be withdrawn at any time

Respect boundaries. Support survivors. End violence against women and girls!

It can be difficult to know how to reach out or help a child or a young person who is experiencing mental health challenges.

Get started by:
🔹 Listening without judgment
🔹 Acknowledge their feelings and experiences
🔹 Let them know that you are there for them
🔹 Help them find support

Another successful event today at Barangay Cambaguio! 🎉✨⭐️
We came together to talk about Adolescent Reproductive Health and raise awareness on Teenage Pregnancy. 💡👩‍👩‍👦

Empowering the youth through knowledge, choices, and healthy conversations—because informed teens are strong teens! 🌸💚💪

In line with the Municipality’s strengthened partnership with the Zuellig Family Foundation under the Joint Programme on Accelerating the Reduction of Adolescent Pregnancy in Southern Leyte and Samar, newly elected Municipal Mayor Marilou Latorre and Vice Chair Carlo Jefferson Latorre led a focused Deep Dive on Expanded Youth Leadership and Governance Program at Barangay Pangpang.

This meaningful engagement was conducted in collaboration with dedicated partners from the Rural Health Unit (RHU) and Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU), together with the newly appointed MSWDO Officer-in-Charge and the Local Youth Development Officer (LYDO).

The initiative aims to broaden the understanding of the complex issue of teen pregnancy in the community, while fostering collective, evidence-based, and youth-centered solutions.

Empowered leadership. Informed action. United communities.Because real change starts with listening, learning, and leading together.

🥦✨ Nutrition Counseling Isn’t Just for Adults – It’s for YOU too, Teens! ✨🥦
This Nutrition Month, let’s talk about how the right food + real guidance = a healthier, stronger YOU. 💪💚

🧠 Did you know?
Your teen years are when your body and brain are growing FAST — what you eat now can shape your future health.

💬 But what if...
🔸 You skip meals?
🔸 You’re tired all the time?
🔸 You struggle with body image?
🔸 You want to build muscle, but don’t know how?

That’s where Nutrition Counseling comes in. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️
It’s a safe space to talk to experts about:
✅ Balanced meals for teens
✅ Weight concerns (too low or too high)
✅ Sports nutrition
✅ Eating disorders
✅ Building healthy habits — not restrictions

🌟 It’s NOT about dieting.
🌟 It’s about understanding what YOUR body needs.

👀 Ask your school nurse, clinic, or health center how to get FREE or youth-friendly nutrition counseling.
This month is about YOU taking control of your health.
