Carrying the theme, “One School, One Response: Strengthening the preparedness of every HYITI Personnel for a Safe, Orderly, and Resilient Learning Environment,” the event gathered all school personnel alongside 76 students at the HYITI Tanix Building.

The initiative was spearheaded by the school principal Ms. Lennylord P. Pura and Faculty President Ma'am Jade Diane Magadia Guerrero and strongly supported by the Balantagi staffers and officers.

Can students afford nutrition foods?

July is Nutrition Month, a time dedicated to reminding us of the importance of consuming healthy foods, such as fruits and vegetables, to help prevent various diseases.

The Philippines is currently experiencing inflation, which has caused the prices of many goods, including food, to rise. Because of this, many students choose junk food or fast food over healthy options, as these are more affordable and better suited to a student’s budget. The rising cost of produce is a concerning trend, as it pushes students toward unhealthy food choices simply because they are easier on the wallet.

This shift is alarming because students are prioritizing affordability over their long-term physical health.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, food inflation climbed to 6.1 percent in April 2026, significantly affecting low-income households. This price surge makes it increasingly difficult for students on limited budgets to afford fresh produce, which has historically been a staple of a balanced diet. Consequently, many young people are shifting their spending toward ultra-processed, energy-dense foods because these items often offer more immediate satiety at a lower price point.

The long-term consequences of this dietary shift are worrying. Frequent consumption of junk food is strongly linked to a higher prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension among adolescents. Studies indicate that while students often understand the basics of healthy eating, a "food hierarchy" persists, where convenience and cost consistently override nutritional benefits.

Inflation poses many challenges for students, but it is still possible to find affordable, healthy options. Students must develop the skills to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy choices to make informed decisions.

In conclusion, students should strive to choose healthy foods over unhealthy ones that whenever possible. We must recognize that nutrients are essential for our bodies to function properly and to help us avoid disease. Always remember that eating healthy foods has a lasting, positive impact on your well-being.
