WILD FIRE SA MT. BULUSAN SORSOGON

Tagalog News Release

SORSOGON PROVINCE (July 8) – Mahigit isang ektaryang bahagi na ng Bundok Bulusan ang naapektuhan kaugnay ng naganap na wild fire doon kahapon.

Ayon kay Philip Bartilet, pangulo ng Aggrupation of Advocates for Environmental Protection, Inc. o AGAP-Bulusan, sa impormasyon ng kanilang forest guards, halos ay mag-iisang lingo nang may nakikitang usok sa isang bahagi ng bundok, subalit kahapon nga lang ito sumiklab.

Apektado ng nasabing sunog ang isang bahagi ng bundok na sakop ng Brgy. San Francisco sa Bulusan, Sorsogon.

Sinabi ni Bartilet na masyadong masukal ang lugar kung kaya’t nahirapan ang kanilang mga forest guards na akyatin ang lugar.

Subalit, sa agaran namang aksyon ng mga tauhan ng Department of Natural Resources, Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council, LGU Bulusan, AGAP-Bulusan, ang NGO na nagmamantini sa kaayusan ng Bulusan Volcano Natural Park at ng PINAGSAMA, isang people’s organization doon, ay nakapaglagay sila ng fire line upang mapigilan ang paglawak pa ng perwisyo ng sunog.

Sa kasalukuyan ay patuloy pa ang mga awtoridad sa pag-iimbestiga ng posibleng sanhi ng naganap na sunog sa bundok, subalit hindi rin nila isinasantabi ang posibilidad na maaaring nagmula ito sa ilang mga residente na kumukuha ng mga pukyutan sa bundok ng Bulusan.

Maliban sa mga likas na kayamanan ng bundok na nasunog ay wala namang naitalang nasugatan o di kaya’y namatay sa naganap na insidente.

Kaninang umaga ay muling tumulak ang grupo ng PDCC upang gawin ang follow-investigation at iba pang aksyong kailangan upang hindi na maulit ang kahalintulad na pangyayari.

Ang lugar na naapektuhan ay hindi kabilang sa dinaraanan ng mga mountain climbers ng Bundok Bulusan. (Bennie A. Recebido, PIA Sorsogon)

Ayon kay Olitoquit, bago pa man isabak sa trabaho ang mga pulis ay sumasailalim ito sa protocol orientation, kung kaya’t tiyak niyang alam ito ng sinumang pulis.

Dagdag pa ni Olitoquit na kinakailangang maayos tingnan ang suot na uniporme ng PNP partikular ang PNP GOA uniform habang nasa kani-kanilang trabaho ang mga ito.

Turn Mealtime Into Family Time Tips

Having mealtime as a family is probably one of the easiest and most important activities you can do to promote healthy eating.
Surprised? I know it sounds too easy; but honestly, sometimes the simplest things turn out to be the most important. Kids are little sponges and they are learning and forming their nutrition habits throughout the day. During mealtime kids learn about foods and their parent’s food preferences.
Children are starting to form lifelong associations with food (positive or negative) and their own food choices (what they “like” and what they “don’t like”).
Here are some easy tips and guidelines to help you turn mealtime into fun family time.
✰ Pick one meal a day that works for the whole family.
✰ If your schedules don’t allow you to eat as a family every day, then pick one day a week to start. That’s ok.
✰ Gradually add another day until you are having one meal a day as a family.
✰ Set a time for family meals. This makes it easier for everyone to plan their schedules.
✰ Eat together at the table. It’s easier to talk to each other when you are face to face.
✰ During mealtime, focus on each other by turning off the TV, cell phones and even iPods.
✰ Keep mealtime a fun time for the family to catch up and share their day.
✰ Parents and older siblings can be a great role model for good eating habits.
✰ Keep it fun. Kids can make name cards for their seats.
✰ Keep meals from lasting too long. If your child gets fussy, let them be excused and take their plate to the sink.
✰ Introduce one new food item at least 3 times a week.
With set meal times and a fun family experience, kids will look forward to eating together as a family while learning about healthy eating.

Top Portion Control Tips

Helping kids learn proper serving amounts is a key component to healthy eating. One of the nice benefits of eating at home is you can always have seconds if you are still hungry. And that is what we want to teach kids, to start with smaller servings.
How can you teach your child what a healthy portion is, without the added fuss of measuring? Don’t worry. Here are some simple tricks you can use to help the whole family control their portions.
✰ Use a salad plate for dinner. It is easier to control the amounts with a smaller plate.
✰ Use small serving spoons or tablespoons to serve dishes
✰ Let kids serve their own scoop. It gives them a little independence and helps them begin to realize serving sizes.
✰ Include water as part of a healthy meal, its great for the digestion.
✰ Provide a nice variety of foods from each of the food groups.
✰ Encourage your child to take one scoop from each of the food groups.
✰ Have a couple vegetables and fruits to choose from. Even fresh and sliced is okay.
✰ Kids like to dip. You can have some vegetables cut up and a low fat dressing.
✰ Encourage kids to have fun coloring their plate with foods that have color. You’ll see that colorful foods tend to be the healthier foods.
✰ Include one healthy carb from the grains food group. For example, serve just whole wheat bread, brown rice or whole wheat pasta instead of pasta and bread.
✰ Cut lean meats into small portions before placing them on the table.
✰ Avoid sodas, sugary drinks and fruit juices during meals. But if they insist on some juice, one six-ounce glass a day of 100% fruit juice is plenty.
✰ Encourage your child to eat their food but if they say they are full, it’s okay.
✰ Kids don’t have to eat all their food to have a healthy meal. Learning to listen to their internal hunger clock is part of learning proper portion control.
✰ Limit snacks to specific snack time so kids will be hungry during mealtime.
If your child eats a balanced food with some foods from all the food groups, portion sizes will naturally be more sensible.

Picky Eaters Tips

Patience and persistence are the tools for parents of a picky eater. Your tenacity to make nutrition a priority will pay off in the long run as your child grows and begins to form food associations, preferences and priorities. Your guidance and role modeling will be a positive and formidable influence. (but you can’t see it right now, so hang in there and don’t give up.)

* Don’t despair. That leads to frustration and stress at meal times. That doesn’t help you or the child. Be patient there is no magic solutions because kids, like us adults, have different personalities, tolerance levels, patience, moods etc. So in other words, what works for one child may not work for another.

*Introduce one new food at a time. Introduce it with another food they enjoy.

* Don’t make your child clean their plate. Forget that old fashioned way of thinking. We now know that kids, especially under five, have a good sense of their hunger. They will stop eating when they are full. The portion size they were given may be too much for them.

* Avoid bribing please! ie “If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert later.” Think about the message that will send to your child. Dessert- reward, fun, happy, success. Vegetables, not fun, requires a condition in order to eat them, Multiple studies have shown that bribing kids doesn’t promote good healthy food preferences in the long run.

* Just try to offer them one bite of the healthy food they don’t want to eat. If your child refuses, don’t give up or get mad. It just means they won’t try it today but that does not mean forever. Keep bringing that vegetable back to mealtime every several days or so.

* Take advantage of other activities to expose your child to healthy foods outside of mealtime. Have them help you pick out the vegetables and fruits at the grocery store, or better yet, at the farmers market, Maybe the farmer will tell your child how they grew it. Let them help prepare the foods. I know I have said this before, but it can take kids 15 exposures before their curiosity is piqued enough to try a new food.

* Be a fun healthy eating role model. The kids are watching you and paying attention. Pile on those veggies on your plate and let them know how delicious it is. A little extra acting is okay. You have an audience!

* It’s okay for kids to have a dessert or high sugar, high fat food once in awhile. Avoid completely eliminating a food they enjoy. It will only make them want it more. Instead, teach your child how these foods are good to have once in a while. Help them learn to eat small portions of these kinds of foods. We have to be realistic. Being healthy is about moderation, balance and portion sizes. There is room in a child’s diet for all kinds of foods. some every day and other once in while. When there are independent betweens/teens they will be making their own food choices. Home is a chance to teach children good eating habits and that includes teaching them about these high sugar foods and high fat foods.

* Avoid letting your child snack all day long. If they aren’t very hungry at mealtime they are less likely to try new foods.

* Make the foods interesting. Jazz up those vegetables and fruits. Kids love dipping foods, so how about adding a low fat dip for their vegetables or fruits. Serve them their vegetable with a vegetable made of into a picture or funny face. Just image their faces when they sit down and see a happy smile made of celery, carrots and cucumbers. Make fruits and vegetables a fun event for kids. Have them color their plate with the food item. See if they can name the different colors. You can come up with different games using fruits and vegetables that can peak their interest about the food.

* If you find a couple of vegetables that they do like, well, it is okay to repeatedly serve them. Just continue to introduce one new food at a time.

* To add more nutrition for that stubborn picky eater who absolutely refuses to eat vegetables or fruits, be creative. You can add vegetables into some of their favorite meals. Dice them finely and add these healthy foods to their favorite meatloaf, stew, soup, casserole dish or pasta.
