SIMPLEST WAY TO MAKE EVERYBODY HEALTHY

OCTOBER IS NOT AN ORDINARY MONTH FOR ALL OF US AND FOR THE REST OF PEOPLE IN OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE. OCTOBER IS A GLOBAL HAND WASHING MONTH.

WHAT MAKES THIS CELEBRATION SO SPECIAL? HAND WASHING DAY WITH WATER AND SOAP IS THE SIMPLEST FORM YET SO EFFECTIVE TO COMBAT ALL SORT OF GERMS BEFORE IT PENETRATES IN OUR BODY SYSTEM.

PICTURE BELOW IS A SIMPLE MOVABLE HAND WASHING LAVATORY WHERE STUDENTS OF R. L. PASCUAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BARANGAY BAESA, QUEZON CITY PHILIPPINES WASHED THEIR HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING THEIR FOODS.

THE HAND WASHING PROGRAM IS LONG TIME RUNNING IN THE PROVINCES. NOW IT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED IN METRO MANILA BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, NGO',S, AND CONCERNED CORPORATIONS (THRU THEIR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY).

QUEZON CITY IS AMONG THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT IN METRO MANILA IF NOT THE FIRST WHICH ADOPTED THE PROGRAM.

BUT THROUGH THE "ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE ORDINANCE" FILED BY COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE. V. MEDALLA WHICH RECENTLY APPROVED BY THE 18TH CITY COUNCIL OF QUEZON CITY, HAND WASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER, TOOTH BRUSHING AND DEWORMING IS NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED IN ALL PUBLIC KINDERGARTEN AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER. I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY.

This practice started way, way back in the 15th Century when Japanese Military Commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa accidentally broke one of his favorite Chinese tea pot. (picture taken from BBC Arts Get Creative) Because he loves so much the tea pot, Commander Yoshimasa went to repair shop to get it fixed.But he was dismay over the result. From then on, Japanese Craftsmen come up with more pleasing method of repair. As you can see it from the illustration above and because of the treatment and application being applied no trace of evidence that it was formerly broken into pieces.
