Strong regulation matters! Policies work only when rules are clear and consistent. New #HealthyFoodEnvironment measures push for science-based standards to determine unhealthy products and will strengthen accountability across advertising and marketing. #WOD2026

In #Philippines, too many women begin pregnancy anemic risking low birth weight & preterm birth. @unicefphils joined @DOHgovph to turn over 90M MMS, reaching 500,000 women through the #ChildNutritionFund & @KirkHumanitarian. 🙏@SecTedHerbosa & appreciation to @AhmadzaiMalalay

From her grassroots activism in #Morocco to her global mandate today, hosting Dr. Najat @SRSGVAC in the #Philippines was a full-circle moment. Her mission here — across government, CSOs, Parliament & partners — showed the same unwavering commitment to children I saw years ago.

How is the #Philippines progressing on the #SDGs? The results are mixed. Access to services is expanding—but quality and outcomes lag. Honored to join #NCS2025 panel, repping @UNPhilippines on behalf of @ArnaudPeral. #DataForDevelopment #ForEveryChild

Do “sin” taxes work? New evidence from the #Philippines says yes. The 2018 SSB tax could avert ~24K deaths in 20 yrs, save ₱31.6B in health costs & raise ₱41B/yr in revenue. A true win-win. 🔗 https://t.co/psxwPR1mad
