ESMA wanted to make sure that there is a unified general image of the country’s flag. Private and public buildings in the country decorate the UAE flag during the Flag Day and National Day celebrations. “The UAE standard specifies the requirements of the UAE flag, a mandatory list, which includes specific color grades used in the four colors that make up the flag, approved main measurements, textiles used in manufacturing, and respect for weather, temperature and humidity,” Engineer Khalaf Khalaf, Director of the Standards Department at ESMA, said. The UAE was formed in 1971 and the UAE Cabinet has approved the mandatory standard that bears the “UAE 1971”. The right size and textile structure must be followed. The authority advised everyone who is preparing to celebrate the Flag Day this weekend. The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) has announced the proper standards when displaying the UAE flag.

It’s up to us to grab them with two hands and persevere. This is sad to know because opportunities abound over here. But throughout these years, I’ve seen a lot of Filipinos who come then go back. Her advice to Filipinos who want to make a mark in the Middle East: “I have been a resident of the UAE for 17 years. I met them as pre-med students and when they graduated as doctors they still continue to volunteer! We also have teen volunteers from Ambassador School.” We have a loyal volunteer group from SCOPH-EMSS. This is a milestone considering when we started it was only a handful. Of her year’s most triumphant moment, Desiree says, “Throughout these years our volunteer base keeps on increasing. This brings 4get-me-not one step closer to becoming a member of Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) UK and gaining an even bigger platform for raising awareness. In August of 2016, Desiree attended the Alzheimer’s University in London. Through her advocacy, Desiree has been able to shed a greater light on the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in the region, and give countless families the knowledge they need to cope with this immensely challenging health condition. She is the Founder & CEO of 4get-me-not Alzheimer’s, a non-profit organization raising awareness on Alzheimer’s disease in the UAE.

She also says that 4Get Me Not seeks to revitalize among younger generations and across nationalities the feeling of respect for seniors and appreciation of their contributions to the community. When it comes to lasting legacy, Desiree wishes to impart an important message through 4Get Me Not – that it’s important to take care of those in their golden years, and their families, a genuine human response towards seniors and a reflection of the Filipino tradition of caring for one’s elders. 4Get Me Not has also organized an Experiential Tour for 10 senior expats in Dubai to visit and enjoy the Philippines. Recently, the group has also done three stage plays performed by actual seniors without any theater experience. Desiree has also produced over a hundred CSR events on Alzheimer’s for seniors, students, Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers. Since its establishment in 2013, the association has continued their advocacy and managed to built a good support system via both the public and private sector in the UAE. The organization has raised awareness on a global health problem and a stigmatized health issue in the region. There is a reason why 4Get Me Not, an NGO for Alzheimer’s Awareness, has been lauded as one of the most compelling organizations in the Middle East. Community Advocate Photo by: Bethoven Filomeno
