Security lapse at entrance to Jollibee restaurant on M. H. Del Pilar St., Ermita church. Nobody at said restaurant inspected or subjected to scanning by metal detector my luggage, which was large enough to contain deadly weapons. Also, the
employee, who served me at said restaurant, didn't have the required health certificate at the required position on the clothing she was wearing.Also, said restaurant didn't have the required express lane for senior citizens and didn't
have the required sign re privileges of/for senior citizens. I believe the implementing rules and regulations of the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2003 were violated.

Be Healthy and Safe in the Garden
http://www.cdc.gov/Features/GardeningTips/

Stay safe and healthy while enjoying the benefits of gardening.
Whether you are a beginner or expert gardener, health and safety are important as you head out to your garden, vegetable plot, or grassy lawn. Gardening can be a great way to get physical activity, beautify the community, and go green. However, it also can expose you to potentially harmful elements, such as the sun, insects, lawn and garden equipment, and chemicals. Below are some health and safety tips for gardeners to follow while enjoying the beauty and bounty gardening can bring:

* Dress to protect. Prevent exposure to chemicals, insects, and the sun by wearing the proper clothing, safety equipment, and using an insect repellant and sunscreen.
* Put safety first. Limit distractions and follow the labels when using chemicals and equipment. Be aware of possible hazards to lower your risk for injury.
* Watch out for heat-related illness. Even being out for short periods of time in high temperatures can cause serious health problems. Monitor your activities and time in the sun to lower your risk for heat-related illness.
* Know your limits. Talk to your health care provider if you have concerns about your ability to work in the garden safely.
* Enjoy the benefits of physical activity. Gardening is an excellent way to get physical activity. Active people are less likely than inactive people to be obese or have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, coronary artery disease, stroke, depression, colon cancer, and premature death.
* Get vaccinated. Vaccinations can prevent many diseases and save lives. Remember that tetanus lives in soil and all adults should get a tetanus vaccination every 10 years.
* Go green. Conserve water, reuse containers, recycle, and share your bounty.

Global Road Safety
http://www.cdc.gov/Features/GlobalRoadSafety/
Whether you're on the road at home or abroad, know the risks and take steps to protect your safety.
The Reality Around the World.Throughout the world, roads are bustling with people operating cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, and mopeds; with pedestrians; and with other types of travelers. Travel made possible by motor vehicles supports economic and social development in many countries and makes transporting goods and people fast and easy. Despite these benefits, however, motor vehicles are involved in crashes that are responsible for millions of deaths and injuries every year worldwide.

Consider the following:

* Globally, every year, about 1.3 million people are killed in motor vehicle crashes and 20–50 million more are seriously injured.
* Half of those people killed in crashes, globally, are pedestrians, motorcyclists, and cyclists.
* By 2020, motor vehicle crashes are expected to become the third most serious threat to human health in the world.
* Road traffic crashes are the world's leading cause of death for individuals between the ages of 15 and 29 years.
* Road traffic and transport accidents at work account for a high proportion of total roadway fatalities in the European Union—41% in 1999.

Steps for Safety At Home and Abroad

Motor vehicle crashes are a public health concern both abroad and in the United States. Crashes are a leading cause of death for Americans of all ages. More than 3 million people in the United States are treated in emergency departments for crash-related injuries each year. More than 40,000 die as a result of their injuries. These injuries and deaths are preventable.

Whether you're a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian in the United States or abroad, take the following steps to stay safe on the road:

* Remember to always buckle up. Wearing your seat belt can reduce your risk of dying in a crash by about half.
* Make sure your young passengers are buckled into appropriate safety seats.
* Transport children in the back seat of your vehicle.
* If you have a teenage driver, sign an agreement with your teen to limit his or her risky driving, such as having multiple passengers and driving at night.
* Always wear motorcycle and bicycle helmets.
* Avoid drinking before driving, even in small amounts, and don't text while driving.

Global Road Safety & CDC

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Injury Center works to raise awareness of the issues that put motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians in harm's way.

Immunize to Protect Your Baby against Disease
http://www.cdc.gov/Features/InfantImmunization/

Immunization is one of the best ways parents can protect their infants and young children from potentially serious diseases. Check to see if your child is up to date on immunizations.

Protecting against Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

Infants and young children need to be immunized because the diseases prevented by vaccination can strike the unprotected at an early age. And these diseases can be far more serious among infants and young children. For example, children younger than age 2 years are at the highest risk for serious pneumococcal disease like pneumonia, blood infection (sepsis), and meningitis. Before the pneumococcal vaccine was used routinely, an estimated 200 children died each year of pneumococcal disease.

Pertussis is another serious illness in children and adults but it can be a life-threatening disease for infants. Making sure that siblings, parents and grandparents of infants are immunized against pertussis can "cocoon" infants, protecting them from infection when they are too young to be vaccinated.

The recommended immunization schedule for babies includes vaccination protection against all of the following diseases:

* Bacterial Meningitis
* Diphtheria
* Hepatitis A
* Hepatitis B
* Influenza
* Measles
* Mumps
* Pertussis (whooping cough)
* Pneumococcal disease
* Polio
* Rubella (German measles)
* Tetanus (lockjaw)
* Rotavirus
* Varicella (chickenpox)

Make sure that your child is protected against all vaccine-preventable diseases. Call your child’s healthcare provider to find out if your child is due for any
immunizations. Or use this online tool
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/Scheduler/catchup.htm

to enter your child’s current record and quickly see if any doses have been missed or skipped. It is important to make sure
that your child is up to date on immunizations.
