Mandaluyong Vegetable Food PacksThe National Nutrition Council lauds the effort of the Mandaluyong City Nutrition Committee chaired by Mayor Carmelita Abalos in providing healthy and nutritious food packs to its constituents. The City includes freshly harvested vegetables to the food packs being distributed on top of the usual canned goods during the enhanced community quarantine due to COVID-19. The City’s strategy of directly buying vegetables from its sister cities also provides economic relief to the local producers affected by the crisis.

“Sa layon ni Mayor Menchie Abalos na ang maihahatid na food supplies sa ating mga bahay ay mas masustansya, nakipag-ugnayan tayo sa ating mga sister cities para makapag-angkat ng mga sariwang gulay. Ang bagong dating na mga sariwang gulay ay mula sa Nueva Ecija na ihahatid kasama ang mga grocery packs sa mga kababayan nating kapos sa buhay para makapaghanda sila ng masustansyang pagkain. Sa mga susunod na araw, inaasahan na may mga iba pang mga gulay na darating mula sa iba pa nating sister cities na tutulong sa atin. Natutulungan din natin sila sa pagtangkilik ng kanilang produkto…” - Mandaluyong City Public Information Office
