Ni NONIE V. NICASIO

MASAYA si Regine Tolentino sa pagiging ambassadress ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) para sa kampanya nitong BIDA ang May Disiplina.

Wika niya, “I am extremely honored to be given the opportunity to raise awareness for this advocacy. As this is a fitness and health advocacy, I feel this is a great fit for what I can do for our country in terms of service and support.”

Kasamang ambassadors ni Regine sina Alden Richards, Diether Ocampo, James Deakin, Jiggy Manicad at Paolo Bediones.

Present sa launching ng #BIDAangmaydisiplina campaign collab si DILG Undersecretary for Plan, Public Affairs and Communication, Usec. Jonathan Malaya, Secretary of the Department of Health, Francisco T. Duque III, Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government, Eduardo M. Año, Police General Camilo Pancracious Cascolan, at Executive Director of the Film Development Council of the Philippines, David Fabros.

Masayang pahayag pa ni Ms. Regine, “I am happy to be safe, alive, healthy. I know we have the Lord to thank for that, but we also have ourselves to commend, on how we stayed safe during this Covid-19 pandemic when it’s so easy to get it when we’re not careful.

“Lahat po tayo ay may pamilya. I have three daughters whom I love more than anything in the world. Ayaw ko pong magka-Covid ang sinuman sa kanila, ang sinuman sa mga mahal ko sa buhay, at ang sinumang kasama namin sa bahay o mga kaibigan at kamag-anak. Karapatan po naming maging ligtas sa sakit. Obligasyon ko po as head of family na maging ligtas sa sakit, dahil mahal namin ang isa’t isa. At obligasyon po naming protektahan ang isa’t isa.

“Iniisip ko po sila lagi – tuwing naghuhugas ako ng kamay o nagdi-disinfect, tuwing nagsusuot ako ng face mask at face shield, at tuwing nasa labas ako at may mga kausap na may social distancing na at least one meter-my family is one of the reasons I am practicing self-discipline. I know it has to be me first, the first to comply and the first to follow the guidelines. It all starts from telling ourselves– ‘Gagawin ko ito, kailangan kong gawin ito, at ito ang kailangan para maging ligtas kami.’

“I heard all about what Covid-19 patients and their families go through, and my heart goes out to them. But I am determined not to let Covid-19 near my family and loved ones, and I’m starting with me. Mask. Clean Hands. Safe Distance. The Right Information. Self-discipline. If we are going to beat Covid-19, we all must play our part in doing that. Not just our doctors and health workers, not just our government, not just our community leaders, but each of us. Huwag tayo maging kontrabida. Ito lang ang kailangang tandaan:

B- Bawal ang walang mask

I- I-sanitize ang mga kamay

D – Dumistansya ng isang metro

A – Alamin ang totoong impormasyon

BIDA!

“Iyan dapat tayo at iyan ay kaya nating lahat. Ngayon at sa mga sususod pang buwan, maging BIDA tayo sa disiplina. Tapusin na po natin itong Covid pandemic, let’s get back to work, back in the new normal, and let’s go on living. We all deserve to be BIDA!” Mahabang saad pa ng kilalang Zumba Queen, top notch TV host at fashion designer, model, style icon, dancer extraordinaire, aktres, at masipag na entrepreneur.
