The NNC-NCR Achieve Team is thankful to all their nutrition networks and other stakeholders in the region, especially the general public for the continuous support given to them in promoting good nutrition in Metro Manila.
According to NPC Federizo, the awards are wonderful “add-ons” but the primary motivation still remains, and that is to contribute to nutrition improvement by informing the public of nutrition facts, encouraging, and influencing them to make healthy food choices and practice healthy lifestyle.
“Kaya natin ito ginagawa ay dahil ito ay ating responsibility and part of our nutrition advocacy and promotion,” NPC Federizo said. She added, “Our main purpose is to increase the people’s awareness on the importance of good nutrition and encourage them to adopt positive nutrition behaviors. Kaya dapat maging challenge ito sa atin para mas pagbutihin pa natin ang ating webpage and social media account to reach more people and influence them to practice good nutrition.”
With everyone’s support and these awards as motivation, the NNC-NCR will continue to use its webpage and social media as platform to spread and promote good nutrition, not only in the region but in the world wide web. Wastong nutrisyon - alamin, gawin, at palaganapin!
