LICEALIZ Campaign KILUSANG KONTRA KUTO Nationwide

Hello my loves how are you? Today let's talk about health issues, well this is not really about a disease but it's a common problem in our household, this maybe shameful but indeed everybody had an issue with this including me. May I start with this phrase" Kuto Free Ka Ba?"

Lice are well known here in the Philippines as KUTO. I was very shocked upon hearing it from experts that Lice basically can survive for 3 days even if they're not in the human head, they can survive during that expansion of time. So there's a greater tendency that It will be spread everywhere. About one-third of elementary public school students in the Philippines suffer from head lice-related problems. Head lice infestation or pediculosis can cause severe itchiness and infection of the scalp, but this could be the least of these children’s worries; the social stigma associated with having kuto can leave lasting psychological damage on both children and their parents.

So here's the great news. Last September, Lamoiyan Corporation’s Licealiz Head Lice Treatment Shampoo conducted a Nationwide Oplan Alis Kuto as a part of its Kilusang Kontra Kuto effort to educate the public on lice infestation issues and the campaign is still ongoing. The Licealiz caravan will travel to different schools and barangays all over the country to hold shampooing programs and lectures for students and their parents. survey of communities visited by the Licealiz caravan last year found that 47% of respondents from Visayas and 76% of respondents from Mindanao said that their children were bullied and teased for having head lice, causing some of them to miss school to avoid their peers. The parents, on the other hand, feel incompetent and embarrassed for being unable to prevent head lice from infesting their children.

We want to remove the stigma associated with having kuto by educating communities on lice infestation issues,” said Lamoiyan Corporation Marketing Director Bing Cavestany. “We want to drive home the message that everyone can be potentially infested by kuto, that it’s not something to be ashamed about, and definitely not something to ridicule others for. We also hope to encourage these communities to unite and take action to solve this public health problem together,” shared Cavestany.

Now on its second year, the Kilusang Kontra Kuto aims to raise awareness about lice infestation issues and prevent and treat head lice infestations. Last year, the campaign reached 30 communities and over 10,000 children and parents in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Here in Cebu Licealiz campaign was first held at Guadalupe Elementary school and the team said that they will still be visiting 9 more schools in the City until the month of November 2017.
