#GrabItBeatIt: GrabCar’s awareness campaign for early breast cancer detection

PRNEWS Admin Leave a comment

In support of breast cancer awareness month, GrabCar has launched the #GrabItBeatIt campaign across Southeast Asia this October to encourage women to conduct self-examination and stress the importance of early detection.

“We believe that early detection is the best protection against breast cancer as studies show that those detected early have high cure rates. Through this campaign, we want to extend the conversation to how women can stay healthy and fit, and encourage Filipino women to self-check before it’s too late,” said GrabCar Head, Natasha Bautista.

According to a 2012 study, the Philippines has the second highest incidence of breast cancer in Southeast Asia. Department of Health (DOH) recommends women as young as 20 years old to familiarize themselves with their breasts and conduct monthly self-examination as everyone is at risk with the terminal but curable disease.

In line with GrabCar’s advocacy to spread awareness about breast cancer, it now offers Breast Cancer Awareness kits which includes a statement shirt by Malaysian clothing company Pestle and Mortar, a tote bag and pamphlet on how to conduct self-examination.

All proceeds go to the ICanServe Foundation which helps women with breast cancer and also promotes early breast cancer detection through information campaigns and community-based screening programs.

“In our own way, we want to let more people know that early detection of breast cancer saves thousands of lives,” said Natasha Bautista.

The #GrabItBeatIt campaign runs in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam as part of the GrabCar’s advocacy on women’s health and safety.

LLDA deepens environmental commitment with Manila Water

Ablaza, Jr. together with LLDA Executive Director Nereus “Neric” Acosta at the recently-held Toka Toka Renewal of Partnership at LLDA Building in Quezon City.  Both were joined by Manila Water group directors Geodino V. Carpio of Operations; Jeric T. Sevilla, OIC for Corporate Strategic Affairs and Corporate Communications Head and Manila Water COO Ferdinand Dela Cruz together LLDA officers.

The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) renewed its environmental commitment with Manila Water’s Toka Toka advocacy, the first and only environmental movement focused on used water management. LLDA has been an active partner of the Toka Toka movement since 2012.

Manila Water President Gerardo C. Ablaza, Jr. said the renewal of the agreement would further pave the way for greater cooperation between Manila Water and LLDA in the area of environmental protection and conservation, especially of water resources.

“The renewal of our partnership would further deepen our agencies’ commitments for environmental protection and promote increased awareness among all stakeholders of the need to protect and conserve our water resources,” Ablaza said during the ceremonial Partnership Seal Signing agreement at the LLDA main office in Quezon City.

Ablaza said the part of the partnership would also oversee the creation of “barangay champions” in full compliance with Republic Acts 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act) and 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004).

For his part, LLDA Executive Director Nereus ‘Neric’ Acosta not only extolled the virtues of Toka Toka and other environmental programs initiated by Manila Water but also its efforts to forge partnerships and cooperation with various government like the LLDA and even non-government organizations.

Acosta also said the partnership between his agency and Manila Water is also aimed at further securing individual and institutional commitments to do their “toka” or share to revive rivers in the metropolis as a major component of environmental protection.

“You cannot protect what you cannot and do not value. You have to learn to value first so that you’ll have greater involvement and stake in its protection and conservation,” Acosta said.

The LLDA chief said the agency will also take part not only in Manila Water’s Lingap Sapa project (clean-up of creeks) but also in information and education campaigns for the International Coastal Clean-Up. LLDA has spearheaded several programs which included the creation of information materials on river rehabilitation, public message banners and billboards at La Mesa Ecopark, provision of cleaning attire for “environmental armies” and inclusion of Toka Toka presentation during seminars for pollution control officers.

The “Toka Toka” campaign promotes the following: proper disposal of garbage; desludging of septic tanks; connecting to Manila Water’s sewer network; and supporting community-based sanitation and used-water projects.
