BNS Lenie Bulan from Cabisera 27 City of Ilagan, Isabela hailed as the 2021 Regional Outstanding Barangay Nutrition (ROBNS) and was one of the six entries all over the country shortlisted and evaluated for NOBNS.

Mr. Daniel Salunga of NSD-NNC led the National Nutrition Evaluation Team (NNET) together with Ms. Lyra Virtudes, (DBM) and Ms. Christle Grace Cubejo (World Vision).

“BNS Lenie is 1 of the 6 outstanding BNS which will be evaluated for their outstanding performance as BNSs we are glad to do it face to face this year,” NNET Team Leader Salunga said.

The two-day evaluation composed of computation examination, practical examination and interview in consonance with the desk review by the NNET.

“ I am very happy and thankful that the NNET personally and face to face have reviewed my documents and appreciates our innovative projects in order to combat the malnutrition especially stunting in the City of Ilagan,” happily shared by BNS Bulan.

NNET will have their deliberation after evaluating all the shortlisted BNS and will be presented to NNC technical committee for their approval. The BNC of Cabisera 27, NNC Region 02 and BNS Lenie Bulan are very hopeful that Region 02 will bag the most prestigious award for BNSs. – John Nestor L. Ballad
