The National Nutrition Council held the regional launching of the 10 Kumainments on November 28, 2014 at Lal-lo National High School to promote the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF).

Over a hundred participants joined to witness the unveiling of the 10 Kumainments which are simple and easy to remember guidelines that can be easily followed by ordinary citizens to improve their nutritional status.

Individuals were encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle with messages such as “Kumain ng iba’t-ibang pagkain”, “Sa unang 6 months ni baby, breastfeeding lamang; mula 6 months, bigyan din siya ng ibang angkop na pagkain”, “Kumain ng gulay at prutas araw-araw”, “Kumain ng isda, karne, at ibang pagkaing may protina”, “Uminom ng gatas; kumain ng pagkain mayaman sa calcium”, “Tiyaking malinis at ligtas ang ating pagkain at tubig”, “Gumamit ng iodized salt”, “Hinay-hinay sa maaalat, mamantika at matatamis”, “Panatilihin ang tamang timbang” and “Maging aktibo. Iwasan ang alak; huwag manigarilyo”.

The 10 Kumainments which is the popularized version of the NGF aims to address and prevent malnutrition and diet-related non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

The regional launching introduced Moises Dalisay also known as “Mang Moi”, the campaign character of the 10 Kumainments. Mang Moi is the version of the biblical character, Moses, who handed down the 10 Commandments of God.

Nutrition Program Coordinator Rhodora G. Maestre encouraged everyone to support the program and to help disseminate the 10 Kumainments up to the barangays and to every household.

A stage play on the 10 Kumainments by the Mass Communication students of the Cagayan State University-Carig Campus highlighted the promotion of the campaign.
