MAMASAPANO,
Maguindanao ---
This local government here has joined the National Nutrition Council (NNC) in
the annual celebration of Nutrition Month 2O19 with the theme, "Kumain ng
Wasto at Maging Aktibo... Push Natin 'to!"
At the
culmination of the Nutrition Month program last July 29 at the Mamasapano
Elementary School, Julieta D. Tercero, Sangguniang Bayan secretary, said
nutrition is one priority of the local government, saying: "All schools
here are supported by our good mayor to ensure the nutrition of the school
children."
Mayor
Datu Akmad Ampatuan, Jr. said several visitors from the Provinvial Office, led
by Provincial Nutritionist Baiking Ali Balinte, attended the culmination
program.
"We
chose an impoverished school, the Mamasapano Elementary School. Good thing, our
governor Bai Mariam Sangki Mangudadatu assured to extend aid to improve the
situation of the school," Ampatuan said.
The
mayor said at least 200 pupils attended the program highlighted by the
coronation of the "King and Queen of Nutrition" followed by a
boodlefight.
District
School Supervisor Esmael Asim was also around during the activity.
Tercero
said they are lucky after receiving the good news that the Provincial Nutrition
Office have included them in the top-five priority list that the governor will
help for the six-month feeding program.
"It's
not all about feeding, the governor shall also give health supplies. However,
they will only select schools which are poorest of the poor," said Tercero.
