During the State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. emphasized the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle for individuals aged 20 and above.
“Nakikita natin ang sobrang pagtaas ng timbang ng ating kababayan na 20 at pataas, sikapin nating mas maging aktibo araw-araw,” the President addressed in his SONA.
The President also urged Local Government Units (LGUs) to create activities that promote a healthy lifestyle within their communities.
“Ipalaganap natin ang pagsasagawa ng mga palaro, liga, fun run, fun walk, aerobics, zumba. Para sa mga LGU, buksan at gawing maaliwas ang mga park at plaza natin kung saan makakapag-ensayo ang ating mga mamamayan, bata man o matanda.” he said.
Additionally, he called on leaders of each LGU to implement a car-free Sunday, which is already in practice in some areas of the Philippines.
