The program aims to encourage children to play and be active in maintaining a healthy weight. It is part of the 2024 Overweight and Obesity Management and Prevention Program for Children of Taguig City.
The participating children received push bike kits, which included kiddie bikes, helmets, knee pads, and a token bag filled with fruits, a tumbler, a towel, probiotic drink, oatmeal, and other essential items.
A demonstration on how to ride the push bikes was also conducted to ensure the children's safety while riding and playing.
Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano expressed her pleasure at the active participation of government employees, parents, and young children in the activity.
"This initiative draws attention to the problem of childhood obesity. We believe that focusing on their overall health from a young age can help address this issue," said Cayetano.
