Baby-friendly Hospitals

Great news! Filipinos have something good to teach the world! UNICEF and WHO have been so impressed with our two pioneering “baby-friendly” hospitals, Dr. Jose Fabella Hospital in Manila and Baguio General Hospital, that they are making them the models for hospitals all over the world.

A “baby-friendly" hospital promotes breastfeeding through a full "rooming-in" policy. Mother and child stay in the same room so baby can be breast-fed whenever hungry. The hospital bans all infant formula and feeding bottles from its premises.

Breast-feeding is best for babies, good for mothers because it helps prevent another pregnancy within six months after delivery, and economical for hospitals because it eliminates the costs of nurseries, milk and feeding bottles.

Ospital na Maka-Sanggol

Magandang balita! Ang mga Pilipino ay may magandang maituturo sa mundo! Bumilib nang husto ang UNICEF at WHO sa ating dalawang nangungunang “maka-sanggol” na ospital, ang Dr. Fabella Hospital sa Manila at ang Baguio General Hospital, kung kaya’t gagawin silang mga modelo para sa lahat ng mga ospital sa buong mundo.

Itinataguyod ng “maka-sanggol” na ospital ang pagpapasuso sa pamamagitan ng patakarang lubusang “pagsasama sa silid.” Mananatili ang ina at sanggol sa parehong silid upang mapasuso ang sanggol kung kailan ito nagugutom. Ipinagbabawal ng ospital ang lahat ng mga nabibiling gatas at mga bote sa kanyang mga bakuran.

Ang pagpapasuso ay pinakamabuti para sa sanggol, mabuti para sa mga ina dahil nakakatulong itong maiwasan ang isa pang pagbubuntis sa loob ng anim na buwan pagkapanganak, at matipid para sa mga ospital dahil tinatanggal nito ang mga gastos sa mga alagaan ng mga sanggol, gatas at mga bote.

Debt, the Budget Deficit, and Essential Services

When teachers and other government employees clamor for better pay, when Filipinos everywhere complain about poor medical care, uncollected garbage, roads and bridges in disrepair, etc. the answer is always no money.

True, the national budget has been in deficit every year since 1987 but this is only because from 1986 to 1990 an average of 30% of the national budget was used for interest payments on government's foreign and domestic debts.

Without these interest payments, government revenues would have exceeded expenditures. Even if we paid half of these interests, we would have had a balanced budget each year. For the useless Bataan Nuclear Power Plant alone, we are paying $355,000 a day in interest - that's $130 billion a year!

The IMF insists that we reduce the budget deficit by cutting government expenditures but not for debt service. The government complies because it wants more loans. What it cuts is usually the budget for essential services for our people.

Ang Utang, ang Kakulangan sa Badyet, at Mga Mahahalagang Serbisyo

Kapag humihingi ang mga guro at iba pang mga empleyado ng pamahalaan ng mas mataas na sahod, kapag maraming Pilipino ang nagrereklamo tungkol sa di-magandang pangangalagang medikal, di-nakokolektang basura, mga sira-sirang kalsada at tulay, atbp. ang sagot ay palaging walang pera.

Totoo, ang pambansang badyet ay kinukulang na taon-taon mula pa 1987 ngunit ito ay dahil lamang sa mula 1986 hanggang 1990 humigit-kumulang 30% ng pambansang badyet ay ginamit para sa mga pagbabayad ng interes sa mga utang ng pamahalaan sa labas at loob ng bansa.

Kung wala ang mga pagbabayad sa interes na ito, hihigitan sana ng mga kita ng pamahalaan ang mga ginagastos. Kahit pa bayaran natin ang kalahati ng mga interes na ito, nagkaroon pa rin sana tayo ng balanseng badyet bawat taon. Para sa walang silbing Bataan Nuclear Power Plant lamang, nagbabayad tayo ng $355,000 kada araw sa interes - iyan ay $130 bilyon kada taon!

Ipinaggigiitan ng IMF na bawasan natin ang kakulangan sa badyet sa pagkakaltas sa mga gastusin ng pamahalaan ngunit hindi ang pambayad ng utang. Tumutupad ang pamahalaan dahil nais nito ng mas marami pang mga utang. Ang kinakaltasan niya ay kadalasang ang badyet para sa mga mahahalagang serbisyo para sa ating mga mamamayan.

Bio
I am a native speaker of Ilocano and Tagalog, a resident of the Philippines, particularly in the Ilocos Region where Ilocano originates. This renders my Ilocano authentic and native in form. I use Ilocano, Tagalog and English on a daily basis and my fluency in these three languages makes my translation accurate, contextually-correct, reliable, and user-friendly. My fluency in English, on the other hand, was honed from my college teaching experience.
