“In our fight against CKD, what is important is awareness. This is why the Department partnered with the ACT NOW program – this is an advocacy for our future and our children,” (“Sa ating laban sa CKD, ang mahalaga ay awareness. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit nakipagtulungan ang Departamento sa programang ACT NOW – ito ay isang adbokasiya para sa ating kinabukasan at sa ating mga anak,”) ani Secretary Abalos.
