VP Sara calls for discipline and early detection as Nation observes National Cancer Prevention Month
As the country marks National Cancer Prevention Month this February, Vice President Sara Duterte underscored the importance of discipline, vigilance, and early detection as our strongest line of defense in battling against cancer.
While advancements in the medical field continue to improve cancer treatment and care, Duterte stressed that the disease, described as “silent adversary”, can be overcome through timely detection and preventive measures.
VP Sara also urged the public not to wait for pain or discomfort before seeking medical attention, emphasizing that early detection plays a decisive role in survival. While regular health screenings are not optional, but a necessary step in protecting one’s health.
“Our habits today shape our future,” VP Duterte added.
She also calls Filipinos to observe and adopt balanced diet and healthy lifestyles, describing these not merely as personal choices but as safeguards for the well-being of loved ones.
She further emphasized that health is not only an individual concern but a shared responsibility to one’s family and community, and fostering a culture of prevention reflects the nation’s commitment to valuing life.
Beyond medical care, Vice President Duterte called on Filipinos to strengthen community support systems for cancer patients and their families, highlighting the importance of compassion, solidarity, and collective action to ensure that no Filipino faces cancer alone.

Kaugnay sa paggunita ng National Cancer Prevention Month ngayong Pebrero, binigyang diin ni Vice President Inday Sara Duterte ang kahalagahan ng disiplina at early detection sa paglaban sa sakit na cancer.
Ayon kay VP Duterte, bagamat patuloy ang progreso sa larangan ng medisina, nanatiling pinaka epektibo na panlaban sa kanser— na kung tawagin ay “silent adversary” -- ang early detection.
Hinimok din ng Pangalawang Pangulo ang publiko na huwag hintayin na makaramdam ng sakit bago magpa suri at kumunsulta sa mga eksperto. Aniya, ang regular health screening ay hindi opsyonal kundi kinakailangang hakbang sa pangangalaga sa kalusugan.
“Our habits today shape our future,” saad ni VP Sara.
Maliban dito, nanawagan din siya sa lahat na isabuhay ang balanced diet at healthy lifestyle na aniyay mahalaga hindi lamang sa sarili ngunit isang pamamaraan upang protektahan ang kapakanan ng pamilya.
Naniniwala ang Pangalawang Pangulo na ang kalusugan ay hindi lamang personal na usapin kundi isang kolektibong pananagutan ng pamilya at komunidad.
Higit pa sa serbisyong medikal, nanawagan si VP Sara sa mas matibay na suporta mula sa komunidad para sa mga pasyente na patuloy na lumalaban sa kanser at kanilang mga pamilya.
“Magbigay tayo ng oras at tulong sa mga cancer patients at sa kanilang mga pamilya. Tiyakin nating walang Pilipinong haharap sa hamong ito nang nag-iisa.” saad ni VP Duterte.
