Robin hails graduation of new reservists as a win for the Philippines

Military reservists play a crucial role in a country's defense,serving as a vital supplement to the regular armed forces. Their importance becomes especially pronounced when conflicts escalate, necessitating a rapid expansion of military capabilities. Reservists, often possessing specialized skills and training, can be mobilized swiftly to bolster active-duty troops, fill critical gaps, and ensure operational continuity.

Being prepared for such eventualities, through regular training and strategic planning, ensures that the reservists are not only able to integrate seamlessly into military operations but also enhance the overall resilience and responsiveness of the national defense.

Recently, SENATOR Robinhood “Robin” C. Padilla commended the 48 new reservists who completed their Basic Citizen Military Course (BCMC) and are now full-fledged reservists of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). The Sandigang Alab Batch 10 reservists were predominantly composed of Senate employees. 

Padilla, together with Philippine Navy officials Vice Admiral Toribio Adaci, Jr., Flag Officer in Command; MGen. Joseph Ferrous Cuison, Commander, Naval Reserve Command, and Capt. Junmar Sales, NCR Commander, welcomed the new reservists following their graduation rites last Tuesday at the Philippine Navy Headquarters in Manila. 

The newly-minted reservists underwent a rigorous 20-day training where they learned the art of self-defense and a deeper understanding of the role of reservists in protecting the country and the people.

Speaking before the graduates, Vice Admiral Adaci emphasized on the crucial role of reservists to ensure national security.

“Mahalaga ang papel ng mga reservist sa ating pambansang seguridad. Sa panahon ng mga sakuna, kaguluhan, krisis, at iba pang mga hamon, ang inyong presensya at kahandaan ay nagbibigay ng dagdag na lakas at kumpiyansa sa ating hukbo. Noong nakaraang taon, sinimulan na rin ang programa para sa pagpapaigting ng AFP Reserve Force upang magkaroon ng mas mahusay na interoperability at malinaw na integrasyon ang reserve force sa ating regular force. Partikular tayo sa interoperability dahil dito nakasalalay ang epektibong ugnayan ng dalawang pwersa,” Vice Admiral Adaci said.

Celebrity reservist Major Jose Sixto G Dantes III PN, better known as Dingdong Dantes recalled his experience when he enlisted as reservist in 2006: “Isa lang po ang katanungan ko: how else can i serve the country and the people? And I learned that the best way to serve the country is by serving the organization well.” Dantes expressed his hope that the new graduates will embody intergrity honor and excellence in all their endeavors. 

Senator Francis Tolentino acknowledged the sacrifices made by the reservists for the love of country. 
In his video message, Tolentino extended his gratitude to the Philippine Navy and Sen. Padilla for giving the opportunity for Senate employees to be part of the reservist movement. 

“Muli, binabati ko po kayo at ako po ay isang masugid na tagapagtulak ng basic ROTC at nawa’y patuloy kayong maglingkod sa bayan ng may dangal,” he said.

In another video message, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, also a reservist, extended his congratulatory message to the graduates and expressed hope that the new reservists will serve the people well. 

Senator Padilla who has been known to push for citizen military training highlighted on the visible reservists’transformation after their training. “Naaninag namin kung ano ang transformation na naganap sa inyo. Kami na nakapaligid sa inyo kitang- kita namin ang magandang idinulot sa inyo ng training na ito.”   

“Sa inyong pinagdaanan, napakasarap isipin na ang suot nyo na uniporme ay kumakatawan sa lahat ng bagay na dati ninyong kinatatakutan subalit inyong nagawa. At iyan ang pwedeng mag umpisa ng inyong pagtatanggol sa sarili. Iyan ang basic citizen military training. Kitang kita nyo na buong-buo kayo bilang isang Pilipino,” Padilla said. 

Sen. Padilla urged the new reservists to use the ranks they achieved as a symbol and motivation to influence the youth in being part of the reservist program.

Rallying the public to support and be part of the reservist program, Padilla said that the success of the civilian military training would only be successful if people would truly understand how important the role of the reservist is for the country and the people.

The senator expressed hope that people from Palawan, Western Mindanao and (plug here other places with low applicants) would soon enlist in the movement and eventually become reservists, noting that 
the appetite for the movement in these areas could still be improved.

Padilla expressed hope that the new 48 reservists would serve as an inspiration to other people in promoting a deeper love for the country and its people.

5 Family Wellness Tips for Gloomy Weather

LAC, the leading health and wellness supplement retailer in the Philippines, shares tips and tricks to keep your family happy, dry, and healthy this upcoming rainy season. 

As the weather turns wet and chilly, your family’s health and happiness is of utmost priority. From creating an inviting environment at home, to seeking ways to boost the family’s immunity, these tips will help you navigate the rainy season with ease and joy. 

1. Create a Cozy Indoor Environment

There’s surely nothing better than being in a warm and inviting environment on a rainy day. Bring out some blankets and pillows and pair these up with fun activities that the whole family can enjoy at home. By creating a cozy ambiance, you’re sure to achieve a soothing atmosphere that promotes overall well-being and reduces stress. 

Additionally, keeping your family’s beloved space clean and clutter-free helps reduce allergens and creates a healthier living environment. Keep in mind that a cozy indoor setting can transform rainy days into cherished moments of connections for a healthy and happy home. 

2. Emphasize Quality Sleep

A full night’s rest is essential for good health. Set up  a bedtime routine for the family and ensure everyone gets sufficient sleep as this is vital for a strong immune system. Make the most out of the weather and let the soothing sounds of nature aid you in encouraging the entire family to bond over rest and relaxation. 

With quality sleep comes a healthier immune function, regulated mood levels, and overall better mental health. This gives your family a natural defense against seasonal illnesses and stress. 

3. Encourage Physical Activity

While outdoor activities are limited during this season, it is still important to keep the family active even inside the home. There are numerous indoor exercises and activities that the family can enjoy together, such as dancing to your favorite tunes, doing some light yoga, or engaging in indoor sports. Regular physical activity helps in releasing endorphins, reducing stress and uplifting spirits. 

Moreover, having a healthy and active lifestyle promotes cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles, and supports weight management. By making time for physical activities, families can stay active, energized, and connected, even when the rain keeps them indoors, fostering a sense of well-being and togetherness all throughout the season.

4. Maintain a Nutritious Diet

Rainy weather usually leads to cravings for comfort foods Pinoys love. While it’s okay to give into cravings once in a while, be sure to balance these with healthy, nutrient-rich meals to support overall immune function.

Maintaining a nutritious diet is essential for boosting family wellness at this time of the year as well as providing the much-needed nutrients to support immune function and overall health. Incorporating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into meals helps strengthen the body's defenses against the common cold or cough. Nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits packed with vitamin C and leafy greens, are particularly beneficial for boosting immunity during colder months. 

Also keep in mind that staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins and keeps the body functioning optimally. By prioritizing nutritious eating habits, the entire family can stay healthy, energized, and well-nourished, ensuring they can fully enjoy indoor activities and stay healthy throughout the rainy season.

5. Boost Immunity with Supplements

Rainy days usually come with the occasional cold and flu so be sure to strengthen your family’s immune system with high-quality supplements and multivitamins. Go for the ones that contain vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, and probiotics to enhance overall health.

Supplements like LAC TriAction C1000 Timed-Release offers 3x the benefits of regular vitamin C and ensures continuous immune support and antioxidant protection while LAC ImmuGuard™ Junior with Probiotics helps maintain good resistance against common infections such as colds and flu and promotes fast recovery so children can quickly get back on their feet through its enjoyable jelly format and great tasting lychee flavour. 

By offering a wide range of products tailored to each family member’s unique needs, LAC ensures that the entire family can maintain optimal health and vitality at every life stage. 

Implementing these essential strategies will not only keep your family safe and dry but also foster a sense of togetherness and well-being during the rainy days. By prioritizing immunity, creating cozy indoor spaces, encouraging physical activity, maintaining a nutritious diet, and taking in immune-boosting supplements, you're equipping your family with the tools to thrive through whatever season.
