Eighteen barangays of the Municipality of Lingig, led by their respective barangay chairpersons, formulated the Barangay Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP) 2026-2028 on September 8 to 11, 2025, at the Municipal Hall in Lingig, Surigao del Sur.
The activity gathered 90 participants, including Barangay Chairpersons, SB Committee Chairpersons on Health, Barangay Secretaries, Nurses/Midwives, Barangay Nutrition Scholars, and other members of the Barangay Nutrition Committee (BNC).
As an output of the planning workshop, all barangays presented their drafted BNAP 2026-2028. Each presentation reflected unique local needs and strategies tailored to address nutrition challenges identified during the sessions. During the presentation, participants identified insufficient budget allocation as a significant gap in their nutrition plans. They expressed gratitude to the Philippine Multisectoral Nutrition Project for its efforts in addressing this gap, among other challenges, and acknowledged the importance of mobilizing resources to enhance nutrition outcomes in their communities.
Additionally, it was agreed during the re-entry planning that a follow-up technical session on the BNAP would be conducted in the first quarter of 2026 to ensure that plans are actionable and responsive to evolving community needs.
The four-day planning workshop was facilitated by NO III Mariella Rayco, PA II Kyle Rathzel Bustamante, PA II Adam Daniel Lacson, PNAO Miloniza Serra, CDO III Dennis Barber, ND II Hannah Lim, and DMO III Ritzel Lyn Nomio.
The BNAP planning workshop aimed to assist local nutrition workers, members of local nutrition committees, and other stakeholders in effectively planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating, and sustaining nutrition programs within the overall local governance and development framework.
