A Journey of Healthy Gut with Erceflora Kiddie aboard the resilient Batang Matatag Bus

 

Talk about health. Here's an interesting information that most parents take it for granted.  

As summer approaches, children are looking forward to spending more time outside and playing in the sun. It can be challenging for parents to come up with fun and beneficial activities to keep their children entertained. Fortunately, the Batang Matag Bus has arrived just in time to provide children with a day of play and lots of exciting learning experiences.

Although the pandemic's impact is diminishing, parents remain vigilant in ensuring that their children remain healthy and safe as they explore the world around them. However, beyond maintaining good hygiene practices, the most crucial step is ensuring that children are healthy from the inside out. This is because 70% of the body's immunity is derived from the gut.

 

“The gut affects so much of a child’s body: their mood, their reasoning, their behavior, and of course their overall health,” said J Ann Mirasol, from the makers of Erceflora Kiddie. “Erceflora Kiddie is created to help balance the good bacteria in the gut, allowing it to absorb nutrients, resist harmful microbes, and prevent upset stomachs.”

During the short panel discussion in the event, celebrity moms, Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio, Cheska Kramer, and Andi Manzano, openly discussed about the old thought about the phrase "wala pang 5 seconds yan." Briefly putting out their thoughts that it's good thing that they do that because somehow it strengthens the bacteria inside the body. But of course, there's a disclaimer that if the food fell on the floors of a wet market that would be gross already. 

To help parents understand the importance of gut health and make building healthy habits easier and more fun for their kids, Erceflora Kiddie created the Batang Matatag Bus, a touring bus across the metro meaning to make education on gut health for kids fun and simple. “Kids with a healthy gut are healthier, happier, and more energetic, and that’s what we call ‘Batang Matatag’,” said Mirasol.

The Batang Matatag Bus was parked at the BGC Amphitheater from March 11-12 to set up the Todo Tatag Playground that had activities for the whole family: 

The Todo Tatag Playground

 
The Todo Tatag Playground featured different play areas that highlighted key information on how a healthy gut supports the overall development of children. Playground equipment were turned into exciting learning opportunities for all kids to be strong, healthy, and become Batang Matatag.

The Todo Tatag Bus

Hopping onto the Todo Tatag Bus, kids learned the Todo Tatag Technique to make washing hands a fun and effective activity. There were also interactive games and photo walls to take fun photos and make cool memories.

A Fun-filled Program

Starting at 2:00 PM on March 11 there will be an interactive program for the family to enjoy together. Families can expect fun games, playful mascots, and entertaining hosts that will give a fun filled family day to all who attend. The program will not only involve energetic activities to keep the audience engaged but also learn more about Erceflora Kiddie and why kids should be encouraged to use it.

Bonding with Tatag Mommies

Erceflora Kiddie brought in the Todo Tatag Mommies Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio, Cheska Kramer, and Andi Manzano with host Riza Diaz to talk about creative ways to encourage the whole family to start more healthy habits and learn more about how to raise stronger, healthier kids starting with gut health. With the help of Erceflora Kiddie, kids can absorb more nutrients, activating better immunity against harmful microbes for todo tatag na tiyan para sa todo tatag na katawan.

With much excitement generated by the Todo Tatag Bus and Playground, BGC is just the first in several other stops for the Batang Matatag Bus throughout the year. In the meantime, parents can help even more kids maintain a healthy gut. When you buy Erceflora Kiddie, a portion of the sale will support Batang Matatag—a movement initiated by Save the Children Philippines and Erceflora Kiddie to improve the overall health and nutrition of children in school.
