Description of Our Community: The word “Muntinlupa” was derived from “muntíng lupà,” which directly translates to “little land.” Now, it is considered a city located among the southernmost of Metro Manila, in the National Capital Region (NCR). It is bordered on the north by the cities of Taguig and Paranaque, and by the province of Las Pinas to the west. Moreover, Muntinlupa holds two districts and nine barangays. These include Alabang, Ayala Alabang, Bayanan, Buli, Cupang, Poblacion, Putatan, Sucat, and Tunasan.
Around the city contains areas that house major malls, offices, and marketplaces, while also being home to plenty of subdivisions and communities, like Ayala Alabang Village. Hence, the city’s residential development provides jobs and supports the economy. Good governance and cleanliness are also a staple for Muntinlupa, given the fact that the city hosts environmental programs and strict ordinances. Being considered a highly developed city with plenty of large green patches, citizens show that the city rigorously respects their mission, which aims to promote sustainable development, good governance, and quality public services. Therefore, Muntinlupa achieved the name “Emerald City.”
Meanwhile, the local government is in charge of things like health, welfare, infrastructure, community service, and public administration. The city planning and development office is also very important for planning, creating programs, doing research, and evaluating. Muntinlupa City has encountered significant changes throughout the years, as well. With this, led by Mayor Ruffy Biazon and city officials, they implemented programs under the “7K Agenda.” The 7K Agenda is the development program of the Muntinlupa City Government, serving as a guide for improving the quality of life for its residents. They are also actively involved in several services and development projects, which make local laws, enforce rules, and give citizens basic services, which also helps the economy grow by helping businesses and creating jobs.
Project Description: Founded by Dr. Fe Del Mundo, the Bulilit and Teen Health Workers Program aims to bring awareness to the Filipino youth on health literacy.
They step forward to achieve this goal through the assistance of young health ambassadors, in which they receive training facilitated by the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) in primary healthcare, life skills, disease prevention, and community health, focusing on young Filipinos to combat issues like early pregnancy and STIs. They empower youth to take an active role in health education, encourage peer-to-peer learning, and foster leadership skills while addressing relevant health issues in their community. With this, volunteers develop the minds of others like them with overall knowledge on the human body, and how they can care for themselves.
The Bulilit and Teen Health Workers Program aims to promote their organization through different activities such as health seminars, workshops, community outreach programs, and peer education initiatives. These activities help raise awareness on important health issues, encourage youth participation, and strengthen their role as advocates for a healthier community.
