A Timely Initiative

Events like Takbo #ParaSaLife are increasingly important, especially given recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicating a global rise in physical inactivity—a significant risk factor for chronic diseases. The Philippines ranks among the countries with the highest rates, with 39.7% of the population affected by insufficient physical activity.
