Kicking off Day 1 of our School Campus Caravan on Mental Health Awareness!

As one of the activities of the City Government of Candon, through the Candon City Health Office, in celebration of World Mental Health Month 2026, we bring mental health awareness closer to our students through meaningful discussions, interactive activities, reflection, and engaging games, we aim to remind our students that their feelings matter, their voices deserve to be heard, and asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness.

This is just the beginning! 🌱 Together, let us build a school community where students feel safe to express themselves, comfortable to seek help, and empowered to care for their mental well-being.

🌿 HEALTHY EMPLOYEES, STRONGER PUBLIC SERVICE! 💚
The Candon City Health Office successfully conducted the Candon City Health and Wellness Forum on September 24, 2026, at the Candon Civic Center, in celebration of the 126th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary, with the theme:

“Healthy Employees, Stronger Public Service.”

The forum brought together chosen representatives from the different departments of the Local Government of Candon, as well as representatives from various National Government Agencies, for a meaningful day focused on physical, mental, emotional, and social wellness in the workplace.

The participants had the opportunity to learn from our physician-resource speakers: Dr. V Calzado-Agub, Lifestyle Medicine Specialist, and Dr. Kareen Alna Lacasandile-Sanchez, Internist and SISMS President, through informative discussions on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and promoting wellness in the workplace. The forum was complemented by interactive activities such as wellness checks, health risk assessment, Karada Scan, nutrition counselling, Zumba, Wellness Bingo, Kindness Wall, fun activities, and other wellness experiences that encouraged participants to move, connect, and reflect on their personal health and well-being. More than a forum, the activity served as a reminder that healthy and well-supported employees are an important part of a responsive and effective public service.

The Candon City Health Office extends its heartfelt gratitude to our City Mayor Eric D. Singson, for his continued support and commitment to programs that promote the health and welfare of our city employees.

Our sincere appreciation also goes to our City Vice Mayor, Hon. Atty. Kristelle Singson, for her valuable support and encouragement in making this wellness initiative possible, especially for staying all throughout the program.

And to our City Health Officer, Dr. Joy Villanueva, thank you for your leadership and continued advocacy for a healthier Candon City workforce.

We also extend our appreciation to all our resource speakers, facilitators, department heads, participating offices, national government agencies, organizers, and employees who contributed to the success of this meaningful activity.
Let us continue to make wellness a part of our everyday workplace culture.
Because when we take care of our people, we strengthen the people we serve.

🌱 Healthy Employees. Stronger Teams. Stronger Public Service.
Happy 126th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary!
