00:31because of work.

00:37So for her, it's important to look at the back-of-back nutrition facts of food

00:42so that her children's health is not compromised.

00:46It's important to look at it because that's where you can see if the child ate the right ingredients

00:56and if it's enough for the child's age.

01:55We don't need to love, we just need to know what our food contains.

02:01It is time to take the lead and take urgent action

02:05to prevent and control the NCD prevalence among Filipinos.

02:10That is why the Healthy Philippines Alliance or HPA

02:14is doing its best to legalize the food warning label in the country.

02:19We will have a wide campaign, wide advocacy,

02:25to let the public know what these warning labels look like.

02:36are among the primary types of NCDs.

02:43and diabetes.
