On 28 May 2026, the Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team – National Capital Region (RNET-NCR) conducted the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Plan Implementation Protocol (MELLPI Pro) visit and Operation Timbang Plus (OPT Plus) Data Quality Check at the Councilors Conference Room, Las Piñas City Hall.

MELLPI Pro is an annual monitoring and assessment activity that reviews the implementation of local nutrition programs, policies, and interventions of local government units (LGUs). The activity assesses the LGU’s and Local Nutrition Focal Points' (LNFP) performance in nutrition program management. The Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team (RNET), composed of representatives from government agencies, academe, and civil society organizations, is responsible for validating and evaluating LGU compliance with national nutrition standards and guidelines.

For this year’s MELLPI Pro visit, the LNFPs evaluated were City Nutrition Action Officer (CNAO) Dr. Julio Javier II, City Nutrition Program Coordinator (CNPC) Zorhaida Ramos, and City Outstanding Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) Susan Sanchez.

The activity was graced by the presence of Vice Mayor Imelda Aguilar, and City Councilor Alelee Aguilar, together with members of the City Nutrition Committee, reflecting the city government’s continued support and commitment to strengthening local nutrition governance and programs.

Present during the visit were Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator (RNPC) Milagros Elisa Federizo, Nutrition Officer II Samantha Claire More, and Project Development Officer I Charlene Malabanan of NNC-NCR; RNET Vice-Chair Mr. Rolando Yu of Rise Against Hunger Philippines; Ms. Maria Vicenta Magpantay of PUP-San Juan; ED Maria Elena V. Navarro of GFHP Project Inc.; Mr. Aisia David De Guzman and Mr. Melvar Royeras of NFP; Ms. Michelle Lobino of CPD-NCR; and Ms. Eloisa Santos of DOLE-NCR.

In 2025, 4,601 children under five (0–59 months), or 0.42%, were identified as wasted (payat) based on OPT+ results.

This reflects children who are too thin for their height—an urgent sign of acute undernutrition that requires immediate action.

𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆:
• Bring the child to the nearest health center
• Follow prescribed nutrition and medical interventions
• Monitor the child’s weight regularly

Early action saves lives and prevents further complications.

Maraming salamat Barangay Pamplona 3!

Isinagawa kaninang hapon ang “Zumba Dancercise” isa sa mga proyekto ng ating Lokal na Pamahalaan ng Las Piñas katuwang ang City Nutrition Office.

Ang layunin ng gawaing ito ay upang ipaalam ang kahalagahan ng pagiging aktibo at tamang nutrisyon; palakasin ang samahan at partisipasyon ng komunidad para sa implementasyon ng mga programang pang-nutrisyon.

Patuloy nating suportahan ang Overweight and Obesity Management and Prevention Program para sa isang malusog na katawan at pamayanan.

Isang pagbati at pasasalamat sa pakikipag-ugnayan, suporta at pakikiisa ng Barangay Pamplona 3 Nutrition Committee, Barangay Nutrition Action Officer at Barangay Nutrition Workers.
