Media as means to get "health advisories"

Its surprising to see how the media is used to inform us of different health facts. Kapamilya On-Guard is an example of which these health advisories are spread to the "madla". Filipinos are shown with short clips about certain health facts. Usually, they create their health advisories in line with whats happening in the country, so it has become really helpful.

Lately, the Philippines has experienced the second wave of habagat. Many of the roads and houses became flooded and so the advisory of Kapamily On-Guard reminds us of the possible illness we can get  from this. The Department of Health says that we should not forego the simple complaints that the people usually experience. It may develop into a more serious disease. Also, the Filipino should also remember to keep out of the flood at most if possible. The water from floods may be contaminated, thus water-borne diseases are prone to be inflicted on those people who walk on this. But, if it cannot be avoided, be sure to protect yourself on the flood. If you happen to experience symptoms of certain respiratory and/or water-borne diseases, be sure to consult a doctor and drink the prescribed medicine. For a surely, disease-free period this rainy season.

Filipinos should put their health in the number one spot for their concern. This short clip from Kapamilya on-guard is only one way of telling us to take that in mind. We should not jeopardize our lives. Truthfully, what is more important than our lives?
