DAVAO CITY – City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio is giving P20,000 incentive to the top three local government offices who will reach the target weight loss by December this year. Each office of the city government must reach 100 pounds weight loss.
"Nag endeavor ang City Government of Davao na mo apil sa 1 million pounds weight loss challenge so that, nag-advocate og healthy lifestyle for the city employees (The City Government of Davao wants to endeavor to join the 1 million pounds weight loss challenge for the advocacy of healthy lifestyle for the city employees)," she said.
Duterte-Caprio, who weighed in on Wednesday for the challenge, said the incentive program is part of the FitFil Weight Loss Challenge as the city vowed to contribute 12,010 pound weight loss.
The mayor said she is also inviting all the barangays and other national government offices to join the weight loss challenge.
This campaign encourages the people to make a healthy lifestyle by having the right weight.
"There are deaths that are preventable if the people have a healthy lifestyle and have a right weight also," she said.
Duterte-Carpio said the people can save money from buying maintenance medicines because they do not need that if they are healthy.
She said the city government also spend on the maintenance medicines through the Lingap Para sa Mahirap program which are given to the indigent people.
"Naay ubang tao nga naga-maintenance because of unhealthy lifestyle (There are people who intake maintenance medicine because of their unhealthy lifestyle)," she said.
Duterte-Carpio vowed to lose 10 pounds in addition to the 12,000 committed by the city government to the FitFil challenge.
During the official weigh-in, the mayor showed her weight at 75.5 kilograms and a height of 5’5. She is expected to weigh 10 pounds less or 65.5 kg by December this year.
Duterte-Carpio said the city government joined the weight loss challenge to promote a healthy lifestyle among the city government employees. While she recognizes that it is not easy to lose weight, the mayor siad there should be an effort to burn whatever is taken in by the body.
The FitFil online and on-ground campaign started in June and will end on December 2017. (Armando Fenequito Jr/PNA)
