LIVE A POSITIVE LIFE. INFLUENCE OTHERS.

There’s something beautiful about men supporting and promoting advocacies concerning women. 

Seeing fathers doting and actually taking care of their little ones always sends a warm touch to my mushy heart making me appreciate the role of fathers even more.   

This probably stems from the fact that I grew up with just one parent in the house, my father. To me and my sisters, he is both ‘mama and papa’. He is the one in-charge of the house but he is also our comforter. He was a teacher and a playmate. Most of all, he is our friend. 

This little reason gave me the extra encouragement in covering the recent activity of the Department of Health that enlisted the participation of men in a cause usually reserved for women.   

This year’s breastfeeding campaign just got a little oomph when men (and women) in the armed forces of the Philippines gave their full support in promoting breastfeeding in workplaces.

The men and the pink balloons. I love this sight. ^-^

Exclusive breastfeeding for six months is recommended by health experts to ensure that the baby is protected against many illnesses. Breastfeeding and complementary feeding is recommended up to two years.  

When the day comes, I’d like to have a photograph of me breastfeeding my baby. I honestly believe it will be one of my best photos. ^-^
