Millions of Filipinos are not eating enough, yet more food is being thrown away than ever before. This irony, revealed by the 2023 National Nutrition Survey (NNS) of the Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI), shows a critical disconnect where the country's most essential staples end up in the bin instead of nourishing those who need them most.

Behind every number is a child at risk of delayed growth and development.

In 2025, 1.62% of children under five or those aged 0–59 months are stunted.

This means thousands still need our attention.
The good news? Stunting is preventable.

Start early:
• Exclusive breastfeeding
• Proper complementary feeding
• Consistent care in the first 1,000 days

Every child deserves a strong start. Act now.

Maraming salamat sa inyong serbisyo at Happy Labor Day!

Para healthy at happy si baby, tutukan ang kanyang first 1000 days!

Inaanyayahan ang lahat ng mga mamimiling Taguigeño dahil narito na ang KADIWA ng Pangulo!

The Taguig City Nutrition Office and City Nutrition Council, together with the Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team (RNET) and the National Nutrition Council – National Capital Region (NNC-NCR), conducted the annual Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Plan Implementation Protocol (MELLPI Pro) on Wednesday, April 22, at Function Room 2 of the New Taguig City Hall in Barangay Ususan.

Evaluators reviewed the city’s implementation of nutrition programs and services, focusing on child and community welfare. The team also presented findings and recommendations to local nutrition focal points during the session led by RNET members.

Mayor Lani Cayetano attended the activity and cited the city’s gains, including the lowest stunting rate in Metro Manila among children aged 0 to 5 at 0.20 percent:

“A big part of the success is your constant monitoring of us. Every year, we challenge ourselves to meet your standards and go beyond what is expected of local governments. I hope you are proud of the city you mentor, because we are seeing the results of our collective efforts.”

Taguig has earned recognition for its nutrition programs, including the CROWN Awards Hall of Fame, Nutrition Honor Award, Green Banner Award, and the Distinguished Award for Advancing Inclusive Nutrition Programs.

Araw-araw nating sikapin! Ligtas ng pagkain!
