💚 A NUTRITIOUS GESTURE OF KINDNESS, A MEANINGFUL ACT OF SHARED RESPONSIBILITY! 💚

The National Nutrition Council Region XI extends its heartfelt appreciation to Maan’s Bakeshop, led by Ms. Joan M. Reyes and Mr. Geoffrey Reyes, for their generous donation of 500 pieces of Enhanced Nutribun in support of the 2026 National Correctional Consciousness Week (NACOCOW) of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Davao Region.

This thoughtful contribution will help promote the health, nutrition, and well-being of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs), particularly those with varying health and nutritional needs at the Davao City Jail–Annex. Your generosity demonstrates that proper nutrition and compassionate service should reach everyone, including our vulnerable communities. 💚

As a proud member of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement of Davao Region, Maan’s Bakeshop exemplifies the spirit of partnership and collective action in advancing nutrition for all. Your support reminds us that when the private sector and government work hand in hand, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Daghang salamat, Maan’s Bakeshop, for sharing not only nutritious food but also kindness, compassion, and hope! Together, let us continue building a healthier, more nourished, and more inclusive Davao Region. 🌱🤝

SUCCESS! LGU Mabini LNC now trained on NPM 🌱

To further enrich their knowledge and skills on how the local nutrition program is planned, implemented, monitored, and evaluated, the Local Nutrition Committee (LNC) members and representatives of Mabini, Davao de Oro underwent a three-day training on Nutrition Program Management (NPM) on October 20-22, 2026.

Through the Technical Assistance given by the National Nutrition Council XI, the multisectoral participants were able to understand their role in supporting the local nutrition program to amplify its efficiency and effectiveness towards better nutrition outcomes.

The NNC XI delegation who focused on training nutrition concepts, skills, and NPM Process involved Nutrition Officer II David Ongking, Nutrition Officer II Kathleen Gauran, and Retired CNPC Nelia Rodillas, while MLGOO Melvin Gonzales led the insightful discussion on Nutrition Local Governance.

Following the training was the courtesy call of the NNC XI Team with Mayor Emerson Luego to talk about their good practices in their nutrition program and potential arrangements for its further enhancement.

We wish the best of LGU Mabini to continue improve the implementation of their nutrition program as they are on the path towards their 3rd Green Banner Seal of Compliance next year.
