The monthly 'Nutri-Challenge' on NNC-CAR's Facebook page will begin in March. The contest aims to advocate for and promote good nutrition among Filipinos.
To maximize the vast reach of social media specifically Facebook and to extend its advocacy to more audiences, the National Nutrition Council-Cordillera Administrative Region (NNC-CAR) conceptualized the monthly ‘Nutri-Challenge’, an online contest that will run on the agency’s Facebook page from March to December.
The monthly ‘Nutri-Challenge’ aims to inspire and encourage Filipinos to adopt a healthier lifestyle by parading healthy lifestyle practices of netizens, boost awareness on nutrition concepts and strategies such as the First 1000 Days, Complementary Feeding, Pinggang-Pinoy, etc. by soliciting real-life experiences from netizens, and advocate for and promote good nutrition through fun and engaging ways.
The monthly contest will be open to all interested viewers of the NNC-CAR Fanpage but will be off-limits to the agency’s staff and their immediate families. However, the specific demographics of the participants will be determined by the nature of the challenges. For instance, some of the challenges may call for participations from breastfeeding mothers while some of the challenges may be open to high school students.
Winners of the challenges will receive cellphone loads as prizes. The 1st placer will receive P1,000.00 load, P800.00 load for the 2nd placer, P600.00 load for the 3rd placer, and two participants who will eventually take the 4th and 5th places will receive consolation prizes of P300.00 load each.
Through the monthly ‘Nutri-Challenge’, NNC-CAR hopes to spark change among Filipinos to adopt a healthier lifestyle by being more aware and more informed about matters concerning nutrition.
