ICTSI supports PHL footballers’ campaign in Special OlympicsICTSI Foundation, Inc. (ICTSI-FI), the corporate social responsibility arm of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), recently signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with The Henry V. Moran Foundation, Inc. (THVMF) to support the campaign of the Philippine Specials football team to the Special Olympics Asia-Pacific Games in Newcastle, Australia.

“We are grateful to have the ICTSI Foundation as our partner in the regional campaign of the Philippine Specials team. This is a very important game as this is the qualifying round for the Los Angeles Special Olympics in 2015. We are glad that the ICTSI Foundation and THVMF have aligned advocacies in youth and sports. The support of ICTSI has not only boosted the morale of the players, but has added prestige to the team as they are carrying with them ICTSI, a Philippine global brand,” says Daniel Moran, THVMF Chairman and President.

In reply, Narlene Soriano, ICTSI-FI Executive Director, said: “We believe in this very worthy cause. The Philippine Specials has all the elements that the ICTSI Foundation supports: the youth, the marginalized, and the athlete representing the country. We are proud to be the lead-benefactor together with THVMF as the team will compete overseas and carry the Philippine flag. They are a source of inspiration and proof that the mentally challenged can contribute to society.”

The MOA was signed by Mr. Moran and Filipina Laurena,

ICTSI Foundation aids Mindanao schools By Jes Vinson

ICTSI Foundation, Inc. (ICTSI-FI), with its continuous commitment to support and maximize the growth potentials of the youth through various channels such as education, recently implemented projects in its beneficiary schools in Davao City and General Santos City in the Philippines.

In partnership with Davao Integrated Port and Stevedoring Services Corp., the Foundation renovated F. Bangoy Central Elementary School’s existing Alternative Learning System (ALS) classroom. ICTSI-FI also provided a new multimedia projector to improve integration of technology in the ALS curriculum.

On the other hand, F. Bangoy National High School’s Technology and Livelihood Education Culinary Arts Room was also renovated and provided with culinary arts tools and equipment like gas ranges, ovens, power blenders, baking tables, cabinets and baking tools. This will benefit over a thousand students enrolled in the school.

In General Santos City, the Foundation, in partnership with South Cotabato Integrated Port Services, Inc., installed a total of 12 Reading Nooks in four elementary schools.

The beneficiary schools of about 1,000 kindergarten

F. Bangoy Central Elementary School’s newly renovated Alternative Learning System Room

students were Balunto Elementary School, Salundin Anas Elementary School, P. Kindat Elementary School and Labangal Elementary School.

The Foundation also donated a risograph machine to the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) Division of General Santos City, which will be used in the reproduction of educational materials for the implementation of the K to 12 curriculum.

ICTSI-FI staff, ICTSI volunteers hold Christmas outreach By Marie Bernadette de Guzman

Last December 2013, ICTSI Foundation, Inc. (ICTSI-FI) staff, together with International Container Terminal Services, Inc. employee-volunteers, conducted its annual Christmas outreach, which benefited a total of 1,740 abandoned, abused and differently-abled children, young adults and elderly from five institutions under the auspices of the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), City of Manila and an international religious organization.

Christmas packs comprised of food items, hygiene kits, laundry and cleaning materials were distributed to the residents of Elsie Gaches Village, Nayon ng Kabataan and Graces (formerly Golden Acres) under the DSWD; Manila Boys Town under the Manila Department of Social Welfare, City of Manila; and Missionaries of Charity under a private international religious organization.

During the day-long outreach, the volunteers entertained the residents, held fellowship activities and games, and provided lunch to all the participants.

The Foundation’s annual activity was called Handog Salu-Salo at Regalo sa Pasko (Feasting and Gift-giving this Christmas), which reached out to the marginalized sectors of society during the Christmas season.

Your 2014 guide to healthy living (part 1)Reprinted from The Philippine Star / By Dr. Tyrone Reyes

You’ve been making health decisions all your life for yourself and for your family. I’m sure that for the new year, you are eager to maintain your health and enjoy life in the most vibrant, vigorous way possible. Study after study has shown that simple lifestyle choices — how active you are, what you eat, how much sleep you get — all have an enormous impact on your health.

Today’s article features advice towards a longer and healthier life. It’s a busy person’s guide to the lifestyle choices you need to make to ensure you stay healthy and strong for years to come. You can reduce your risk for many

degenerative diseases and chronic conditions by following the advice in this column.

EAT MEDITERRANEAN. Although countless observational studies have pointed to the health benefits of specific foods or nutrients, rarely have entire eating regimens undergone close scientific scrutiny. A notable exception is the Mediterranean diet, a term coined to describe the traditional eating pattern of people living in the region bordering the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean diet consists mostly of plant foods (fruits, vegetables, grains,

12 T h e O f f i c i a l P u b l i c a t i o n o f I n t e r n a t i o n a l C o n t a i n e r T e r m i n a l S e r v i c e s , I n c .

Page 13: January 2014 PortFolio_Philippine Edition

beans, nuts, and seeds); animal protein consumed chiefly in the forms of fish and poultry; olive oil as the principal fat; and wine taken with.

Although the diet was a product of the foods easily cultivated or gathered in the region centuries ago, modern research confirms its unintentional wisdom. Multiple compounds in plant foods appear as antioxidants, slowing the aging process and hindering the development of cancer and heart disease. By slowing digestion, the fiber in whole grain, legumes, and fruits can help keep blood sugar under control; fiber also creates a feeling of fullness, which may help satisfy appetite. The monounsaturated fats in olive oil, nuts, and fish can have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help stave off heart disease and many other conditions. Perhaps, most important to its success is that Mediterranean-style eating excludes many foods common to cause health problems: saturated fat from animal source, trans fat, and refined carbohydrates.

WATCH YOUR WEIGHT. Excess body weight increases your risk for more than 50 different health problems. These conditions include the leading causes of death — heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, and diabetes — as well as less serious ailments such as arthritic knees and gallstones.

A Harvard study found that obesity increases the risk of diabetes 20 times and substantially boosts the risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and gallstones. Among people who were overweight or obese, there was a direct relationship between Body Mass Index

(BMI) and the risk of acquiring a disease: The higher the BMI, the higher

the likelihood of disease.Fat distribution also

plays a role in health risk. Visceral fat — that is, fat in the abdominal area that serves as padding between organs — is metabolically active, producing substances

that spur inflammation and increase insulin

resistance. The best way to lose excess weight is to

consume fewer calories and to indulge in a regular exercise program.

LIMIT ALCOHOL INTAKE. Every new year, we toast to good health for good reason. Moderate drinking has been associated with reduced risk for heart disease and death from all causes. Alcohol of any kind increases HDL (good) cholesterol, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces inflammation. Wine, in particular, contains small amounts of plant substances called flavonoids that have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity in laboratory experiments.

Men are advised not to exceed two drinks a day; in women, only once a day. In women, the benefits of alcohol vanish with a second drink. At more than the recommended limits, you increase your risk of cancers of the breast (in women), head and neck, and digestive system; hypertension; stroke; and car accidents. At higher levels of consumption, the risk of pancreatic and liver diseases and neurological disorders rises.

DON’T SMOKE. If you smoke, quit. There are few things you can do that will have such immediate and lasting benefits as giving up cigarettes. In 20 minutes, your heart rate will fall. By tomorrow, you’ll have cleared the excess carbon monoxide from your blood. Within months, you’ll be breathing more easily and coughing much less. Over the years, your risk for lung cancer, stroke, and heart disease will have dropped by at least half. In 15 years, you’ll have erased your excess risk for heart disease.

Separate yourself from smokers. Inhaling another person’s smoke is also emerging as a weaker, but still noteworthy, risk factor. If you’re a non-smoker, become a nag. Let the smokers in your circle of friends and family know that you would like them to quit, and encourage them in their efforts. Be patient. Only four percent to seven percent of smokers are able to quit on any attempt without aids like nicotine replacement products or medical help, and only one-quarter to one-third who use any quit-smoking medicine, stay smoke-free for more than six months. It usually takes many attempts before a person is successful at quitting. (To be continued)
