"Like other cultures, we Filipinos, love lunch boxes. It's about diversity and diversity food."
Masaya rin niyang binalikan ang madalas niyang baunin noong siya'y bata pa.
"I grew up in Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby and my mum would send me rice with adobo and some vegetables. What you eat at home can influence what you eat with other people."
Sa panayam ng SBS Filipino kay NSW Health Secretary Susan Pearce sa ginanap na paglulunsad ng MHW 2024 nitong linggo, sinabi nito na maswerte ang NSW na mayroon itong iba’t ibang kultura na may impluwensya sa pagkain na mayroon sa estado.
"We're so lucky. We've got so many multicultural influences on the food that we eat and importantly that we're talking about health and how we can make ourselves as individuals really healthy in our communities."
Mahalaga ani Susan Pearce na mapangalagaan ang kalusugan ng multikultural na komunidad – malaki aniya ang pakinabang ng malusog na komunidad sa kabuuang sistema ng kalusugan ng estado at maging ng buong Australia.
"We have a big population here in NSW and of course, the issue for us is that if our communities become unhealthy, not only is that terrible for the individuals, but it's really going to create a big impact on our health system."
"We're a very busy health system, so our goal has to be to make our communities as healthy as possible so that we can reduce the burden on the health system and make sure we've got people who live full and healthy lives."
Nagpasalamat din ang NSW health secretary sa iba’t ibang pagkaing dala at inihahain ng bawat komunidad.
"Big thank you to the multicultural community of NSW. Where would we be without you? I'd be stuck with boring old Vegemite sandwiches that I had when I was a kid."
"From our perspective, it is such a great privilege to have the influence of multicultural communities in our society for many reasons. Nonetheless, the wonderful food."
