BACKGROUND:

The Local Government Unit of Santol have long sought to integrate gender responsiveness in response to
the General Appropriations ACT (GAA) on Programs/Projects related to Gender and Development (GAD).
GAD focuses on the principle that development is for all. Everyone in society, female or male, has the right
to equal opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying life. Sports and cultural development activities are
also implemented as part of the LGU’s physical fitness program. These include sports competitions,
agency-sponsored seminars with the participation of employees’ families, and provision of facilities to
help ease work pressure, inspire creativity and promote general well-being.

Furthermore, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) issued MC No. 8, series of 2011 which reiterated the
Commission’s directive to all government agencies to adopt a health and fitness management program
for all its employees dubbed as “The Great Filipino Workout.” The program is designed to give importance
to a healthy lifestyle and development of an alert workforce in government agencies. This is also an
integral part of the National Physical Fitness and Sports Development Program for government personnel.
In line with this directive, the Local Government Unit of Santol encouraged employees to join the
“ZUMBA” at the Municipal Plaza every Friday at 3:00 in the afternoon as part of the agencies continuing
physical fitness activity to develop a healthy workforce.

Zumba involves dance and aerobic movements performed to energetic music. This is an exercise fitness
program created by a Colombian dancer and choreographer during the 1990s. Zumba can help lower the
risk of heart disease, reduce blood pressure and bad cholesterol, and boost good cholesterol. Indeed,
health and wellness really go together.
