PIPIT FUND PHILIPPINES INCORPORATED

# 400 R. Domingo St. Purok 4, Brgy. Sucol, Calamba City. Laguna

Republic of the Philippines

PROPOSED PROGRAM PLAN:

Healthy Wellbeing; Healthy Community

The Covid -19 Pandemic changes the way how we should take care of our health. Health and wellness
are sometimes being left out on a common Filipino family. Health delivery program although available
yet people find it not as a priority vs. their daily essential needs.

In deeply understanding on Health as a family’s priority it is very important that we know how much a
family Living wage. According to Ibon Foundation (a non-Profit research and Education and information-
development institution) as of August 2022 “Filipino workers are still having a hard time keeping up with
the rising Cost of Goods and Services despite an increase in minimum wage. For instance, the National
Capital Reagion Minimum Wage is barely half (51%) of the Php 1,117 estimated family Living wage
(FWL) needed by a family of five to Live Decently as of August 2022”. Thus, creating a priority budget for
most of the Filipino family to allocate mostly on their food and basic commodities thus, health budget
are becoming less of their priority.

Seeking health professionals are very costly, usually seeking medical advice cost 500Php or more (10$)
depending on specializations needed not to include being hospitalized.

Education and Community based programs as health service plays a major role in uplifting the
community’s awareness and perception of health. Health and Wellness promotion ate tools for a
preventive and cost effective way of developing healthy wellbeing and a healthy community.

Community’s health awareness is a stepping stone to have a healthy community, if people in the
community know early signs of diseases, and can identify on when a diseases needed to be referred to a
healthcare facility, early prevention and early detection of diseases.

As inspired by the community’s need of Health programs to elevate people’s awareness, this Program
seek to organized Health care Workers, health Allied personnel in Sucol to be mobilized in promoting
health and wellness within the community.

This Proposed Program plan, aims the following:

1. To organized Health Care Workers and Health allied personnel in Sucol

2. Provide the community Timely Health education.
3. Organized activity in the community that can help in delivering health awareness.
