“PAGLALAKBAY- Napakahalaga ang paglalakbay dahil nakilala at nakita ang adhikain to improve the health of beloved Natonin at nalalaman ang mahalagang bagay sa bayan ng Natonin;
PAGSASAKRIPISYO- Pag-isahin ang lahat ng sakripisyo sa lahat ng programang pangkalusugan.
PAPURI – Lahat ng sakripisyo ay bigyan ng papuri, ensure that every person is motivated;
PASASALAMAT- Pasasalamat na nailalahad ang mga problema, kung ano ang kaya bigyan ng solusyon.”
