Tuguegarao City- The National Nutrition Council Region 02 office conducted a one-day training seminar and workshop for the provinces of the region last September 14,2012 in the NNC Region 02 conference room.

The training was attended by staff from each city and each province in Region 02, save for Batanes which had a separate one-on-one training.

The activity was started with the preliminaries, and followed by an introduction on the nature of the seminar. Lectures were provided by NNC staff (Ms. Benjielyne Estudillo NO II and Mr. Mikael Maestre , Detailed Staff) on the framework and basic principles on drafting web articles, as well as do's and don'ts and additional tips in the drafting thereof.

After the lecture and discussion, the participants were subjected to a workshop, wherein each city/province was tasked to create their own facebook page and thereafter draft their first article. Staff from the NNC R02 Office will monitor the progress of each page at the end of each month and evaluate the pages' performance in terms such as functionality and popularity.

Nutrition Program Coordinator Rhodora Maestre gave her message near the end of the workshop, emphasizing the need to expand on information dissemination by the nutrition offices of each area in the region to the people. She urged the participants to properly integrate the new role of those who participated into their current duties.
