Vice President Sara Duterte thanked Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa for the opportunity to meet and discuss issues related to the health of Filipino learners.

These include cases of HIV/AIDS among young learners, teenage pregnancies, and mental wellness.

The Vice President admitted that not all school-related challenges stem from the quality of education alone.

Many of these issues are rooted in physical and mental health, which she deems crucial in ensuring the overall development of our students.

In collaboration with the Department of Health, the Vice President assures the implementation of programs that will address the health issues of learners, not only in the physical aspect but also in their mental health and well-being.
