TURMERIC (Cucurma longa L.) is an herb native to Southwest India and is widely used as a culinary spice. Turmeric belongs to the ginger family, and is commonly referred to in the Philippines as luyang dilaw. It is widely cultivated in the Philippines and has become an essential part of Filipino and Asian cuisine. More than its value in adding flair and the distinct yellow color to dishes, turmeric has also been known for its medicinal value across several cultures.

     The World Health Organization (WHO) states that vaccination is a simple and effective way of preventing many harmful diseases.  The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines vaccines as products “that stimulate a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting that person from that disease”.  The vaccine lets our body “know” the disease-causing microbe, and it allows the body to build an immune response. This immune response protects the body from that microbe if in case it enters the body in the future.

Last September 29, 2021, DISTRIPHIL’s Human Resources and Organization Development (HROD) department conducted another episode of Health Awareness Academy (HAA).
