TV5 And Radyo5 Team Up To Promote Fitness And Health In Davao

IN IT DESIRE to promote health and wellness among Filipinos, TV5 and Radyo5 in Davao join forces anew to launch a month-long program activities in the region that combine fitness, health, and fun, which is the Kapatid Network’s simple way of ‘giving back’ to the community. These activities include “Zumba Saturdays” where DavaoeƱos were able to participate in the country’s latest easy-and-safe exercise craze. This activity, in partnership with Rotary 2000, had more than 200 participants, with families and groups of friends making this their weekly bonding and fitness activity.

The Kapatid Network and Radyo5 Davao also partnered with Rotary 2000 for a blood-letting activity in support of the Philippine National Red Cross’ drive to increase the dwindling platelet supply for dengue victims. Hand-in-hand this time with the Davao Doctor’s Hospital, TV5 and Radyo5 Davao also organized the “Operation Bukol and OB Screening” program with a number of surgeons, OB gynecologists and other specialists. The program is aimed at addressing cancer prevention through early detection. More than just the usual consultations, the doctors on call also conducted pre-natal screenings and free operations to remove cysts, mass and tumors.



This September, they will spearhead a city-wide feeding program for children in various barangays in Davao. This encourages children to drink milk for healthier bodies and sharper minds.
