CITY OF ILAGAN, ISABELA--- The Balay ni IFAN Media Group planned to expand its membership to more local community radio stations for wider nutrition promotion in the region.

Dr. Rogelio Matalang, station manager- DZDA Radyo Pangkaunlaran and National Chairman of the Philippine Federation of Rural Broadcasters, suggested for NNC R02 to tap local community radio stations in the region for free airing of nutrition plugs, drama or announcements of the agency.

“This is a high time to tap more community radio stations in the region specially in this time of pandemic wherein people are encouraged to stay at home. More engaged community radio stations that air nutrition information can reach more people,” he added.

 “At present we are already utilizing some local community radio stations in the region specially in Cagayan Province. With the suggestion, we can explore other areas to ensure wider dissemination of nutrition information in the region,” Ms. Maria Gisela Lonzaga, Nutrition Program Coordinator, as she agreed to the suggestion.

Moreover, NNC R02 and Balay ni IFAN finalized additional list of members to be invited during the first quarter meeting of the association to be held on 19 February 2021.

Today, the National Nutrition Council R02 already tapped DWRL in Lal-lo, Cagayan, Radyo Natin in Aparri, Cagayan and DWQP in Quirino Province. With the inclusion of other local community radio stations, the NNC R02 is expecting to boost its nutrition information campaign in the region. ### JNLB
