Alam mo ba na ang virgin coconut oil o VCO ay may anti-viral properties?

Ang VCO ay ang langis na mula sa laman ng niyog, na 100% natural. Ibig sabihin ay wala itong halong ibang kemikal at ito ay purong galing sa niyog.

Ano ang meron sa VCO?
Ang VCO ay mayroong medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) na naglalaman ng fatty acids tulad ng lauric acid. Ang lauric acid, kapag kinonsumo ng katawan ay magiging monolaurin na nagbibigay ng anti-viral properties ng coconut oil, na nakatutulong sa pagpapalakas ng ating immune system, sa pagpapabuti ng ating digestion, at ng ating nutrient absorption.

Dagdag pa rito, ang coconut oil din ay agad na name-metabolize ng ating katawan upang magamit bilang isang mabisang energy source.

Maaari bang gamitin ang VCO upang makaiwas sa COVID-19?
Ayon sa ginawang pag-aaral ng Department of Science and Technology (DOST), napag-alaman na maaaring gamitin ang VCO bilang 'adjunct' supplement upang makaiwas o mabawasan ang mga sintomas ng COVID-19. Patuloy pa itong pinag-aaralan upang malaman at matiyak kung paano ito makatutulong sa mga COVID-19 patients.

HOUSE EYES 3RD READING APPROVAL OF COCO LEVY TRUST FUND BILL BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK

Speaker Lord Allan Velasco expects the House of Representatives to pass on third and final reading the bill creating the coconut levy trust fund before it goes on a holiday break this coming week.

“The passage of the bill would be a fitting Christmas gift to more than three million coconut farmers who stand to benefit from the proposed coco levy trust fund,” Velasco said.

Last Wednesday, the Velasco-led legislative chamber approved House Bill 8136, or the proposed Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund Act, on second reading.

The bill was endorsed to the plenary by the House Committee on Agriculture and Food, chaired by Quezon 1st District Rep. Wilfrido Mark Enverga.

HB 8136 seeks to let poor coconut farmers benefit from taxes collected from them decades ago, now worth around P76 billion in assets.

The measure is one of the priority legislation mentioned by President Rodrigo Duterte in his State of the Nation Address in July.

Velasco said he could not agree more with the President on the need to establish a trust fund to ensure the welfare of coconut farmers and their families.

“The establishment of the trust fund will ensure that the recovered coco levy funds will be used for the development of the coconut industry and to uplift the lives of coco farmers who are among the poorest in the country,” the Marinduque solon said.

As soon as he became Speaker in October, Velasco has made the coconut trust fund bill one of his priority measures.

The bill is expected to benefit around 3.5 million coconut farmers from 68 coconut-producing provinces, who own not more than 5 hectares of farmland.

Under the proposed legislation, the trust fund will be maintained for 99 years under the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan (CFIDP) to be formulated by the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA).

The bill aims to increase the income of coconut farmers, alleviate poverty and promote social equity, and rehabilitate and modernize the industry towards farm productivity.

An initial allocation of P5 billion shall be available to the PCA, including disbursements for the formulation of the CFIDP.

The Department of Finance shall be designated as the manager of the trust fund.

The Philippines is eyeing to spearhead the international “solidarity trials” for virgin coconut oil as a potential cure for the coronavirus disease 2019, a scientist involved in the VCO study revealed yesterday.

Professor Fabian Dayrit of the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) and member of the FNRI study team that conducted the clinical trials on VCO in Santa Rosa, Laguna, said that the Philippines can tap the International Coconut Community (ICC) for the global study on VCO.

Dayrit, whose expertise is in chemistry, said the Philippines can lead this effort since it is the biggest exporter of VCO in the world. “It will certainly benefit our own VCO producers,” he added.
