FILIPINOS IN PHNOM PENH IN CAMBODIA KEEP FIT THROUGH ZUMBA SESSIONS

The Samahan ng mga Pilipino sa Cambodia (SAMAPI), with the support of the Philippine Embassy in Phnom Penh, conducted a health and wellness activity through Zumba sessions to encourage Filipinos in Cambodia to keep fit and healthy.

The initial Zumba session, held on 11 November 2018 at the rooftop of the Philippine Embassy, was led by SAMAPI’s Secretary, Ms. Sundee Viňas.

In her welcome remarks, Consul General Myca Fischer noted that the Embassy’s support for this activity is consistent with its gender and development agenda, which promotes, among others, the right to health of OFWs, especially women OFWs.

“The increasing prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle poses many major health risks. Kaya po kailangan nating mag-exercise, maging active, dahil mahirap at sobrang mahal magkasakit dito sa Cambodia,” Consul General Fischer said.

The Zumba sessions, which are free of charge, will be held every Sunday. END
