For proper management of individuals with elevated blood pressure, diagnosis and treatment is not enough. Compliance to therapy as well as lifestyle modification are also crucial steps in managing and controlling hypertension. As one of Bantay Presyon Campaign's activities geared towards lifestyle modification, ZUMBA PARA SA TANAN was spearheaded by the team. Zumba Para sa Tanan is a thrice a week 40-minute dance exercise for all age groups. Project head Al-Ryan Abu emphasizes that this amount of exercise is proven beneficial not only to hypertensive patients but also to the otherwise healthy population.

As of October 2015, 3 active participants volunteered to lead the “ZUMBA para sa TANAN” in place of the team. Team Sicpao is optimistic that this is just an initial step towards a healthier lifestyle among the people of Barangay DCM.
