First Human Milk Bank in Muntinlupa City Inaugurated

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the first human milk bank located inside the Ospital ng Muntinlupa (OsMun) was formally inaugurated just as the local celebration of National Breastfeeding Month went on, according to a news article by the Philippine Information Agency (PIA). For the newcomers reading this, Ospital ng Muntinlupa is located in Filinvest City and is a short distance away from Asian Hospital and Medical Center.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the PIA. Some parts in boldface…

In celebration of National Breastfeeding Month, Muntinlupa City, together with the Rotary Club of Muntinlupa, has opened the first human milk bank in the city, to save and improve the lives of newborns in need.

Located within the Ospital ng Muntinlupa (OsMun), the facility, opened on August 4, is a crucial resource designed to ensure a safe and sufficient supply of donor human milk bank for babies in need, especially those who are premature, have medical conditions, or whose mothers are unable to breastfeed.

According to the National Nutrition Council (NNC), exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, followed by continued breastfeeding alongside complementary foods until at least two years of age, is recommended for optimal growth and development.

Donated breast milk is a life-saving gift. A mother’s surplus milk, even in small amounts, can make a big difference in the life of another baby in need.

The human milk bank highlights the importance of breast milk, often called ‘liquid gold,’ in providing newborns with complete nutrition for their needs and strengthening immunity through a mother’s antibodies. Breastfed babies are less likely to get infections and have a lower risk of developing asthma, diabetes, and obesity. Breastfeeding also supports brain development and higher intelligence when they grow up.

The benefits of breastfeeding extend to the mother as well, by releasing hormones like oxytocin, fostering a deep emotional and psychological bond between the mother and child. Mothers who breastfeed also experience a reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancers, type 2 diabetes, and postpartum depression.

Locals who are interested to donate breast milk are encouraged to call 0912-857-5398. The human milk bank is open from Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you delighted to know that a local human milk bank has been launched? Are there lots of people in your local community who are willing to donate breast milk to the human milk bank?

As his second term of office started this past Monday, Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon reminded the local government employees to serve the people with courtesy, politeness, respect and attention, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon started his second term of office at noon on June 30 and reminded employees of their duty to serve the public.

“We must serve and treat people with utmost courtesy, politeness, respect and attention that will make them feel that they are welcome and attended to,” he said in his inaugural message at the oath-taking ceremony of all newly elected officials of Muntinlupa on June 30.

Biazon took his oath before Muntinlupa Executive Judge Liezel Aquiatan.

“People are telling me that with my election this 2025, two ‘Firsts’ were accomplished. The first Muntinlupa Mayor to run unopposed, and the first to garner over two hundred thousand votes,” he said.

Also taking their oath were reelected Muntinlupa Rep. Jaime Fresnedi and Vice Mayor Stephanie Teves-Wong.

Councilors in Muntinlupa’s two districts also took their oath of office. They were District 1 Councilors Alexson Diaz, Raul Corro, Rachel Arciaga-Molina, Paty Katy Boncayao-Barreto, Jedidiah Presnedi, Walter Arcilla, Valentino Niefes and Amanda Jane Camilon.

The new District 2 councilors are Reggie Ann Landrito, Mamero Sevilla Jr., Kaye Anne Rongavilla, Francis Ian Bagatsing, Arlene Hilapo, Marie Shalimar Baes-Reyes, Rodolfo Moldez Jr. and Cornelio Martinez.

Biazon said in his first term of office, “good governance” meant something not only an Internet buzzword.

“Dito sa atin sa Muntinlupa, good governance means efficient and effective services, it means transparency and accountability in processes, it means we introduce innovation so that our programs continually improve to benefit our constituents especially those in vulnerable sectors,” he said.

He cited the accomplishments of the Muntinlupa City government in the last three years including getting the Seal of Good Local Governance award from 2022 to 2024 from the Department of the Interior and Local Government.

He said one of the major reforms that he implemented during his first term was to improve the services at the Ospital ng Muntinlupa (OsMun) in Alabang. The operation was the hospital was reverted back to the city government.

For 2025, he said, the city government allotted a P830 million budget for OsMun or about 10 percent of the total budget.

In addition, the city government allocated P100 million for the hospital’s infrastructure upgrades including rooms, critical facilities and new medical and laboratory equipment. He also formed the Mayor’s Patient Relations Team at OsMun to help patients and their families about concerns.

The mayor reminded employees of his “FREE (Fast, Responsive, Efficient and Effective) Service with a Smile” policy.

“Dapat ito ang maging tatak ng mga kawani ng lungsod—dapat hindi lang ito memory verse ng mga empleyado (This should be the brand of city employees—it shouldn’t just be a memory verse for employees). This should be a way of life, a standard operating procedure, an official policy,” he said.

Biazon said he will continue his 7K Agenda consisting of Kalusugan (Health), Karunungan (Knowledge), Kabuhayan (Livelihood), Kaunlaran (Progress), Kalikasan (Environment), Katarungan (Justice) and Kaayusan/Kapayapaan (Peace and Order).

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, what are you looking forward to from the City Government over the next three years?

“Bahagi ito ng tuluy-tuloy na reporma sa OsMun para matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga pasyente at health workers (This is part of the ongoing reform at OsMun to meet the needs of our patients and health workers),” he posted on Facebook.

He said the immediate purchase of the supplies became possible when the direct management of OsMun was reverted to the Muntinupa City government. The hospital previously operated as a Local Economic Enterprise (LEE).

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, it was announced that reforms at the Ospital ng Muntinlupa (OsMun) will be implemented by the City Government, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. The said hospital is located in Filinvest City.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the city government will implement reforms at the Ospital ng Muntinlupa (OsMun) in Alabang.

Biazon held a dialogue with doctors of the hospital about concerns.

The supervision of OsMun was returned to the Muntinlupa City government based on an ordinance passed last year. In 2019, the OsMun was designated as a Local Economic Enterprise (LEE) aimed at generating its own revenue. 

“Ngunit sa ilang taon ng operations, lumalabas na hindi niya kaya makamit ang nasabing revenue na nagdulot ng kakulangan sa naihahatid na serbisyo (But after several years of operations, it turned out that it was unable to achieve the said revenue, which caused a shortage in the service delivered),” Biazon posted on Facebook.

During the meeting, Biazon explained to the OsMun doctors the changes that will be implemented and listened to their complaints and suggestions.

He said the return of OsMun under the city government was meant to give the hospital the capability to provide the right service.
