The National Nutrition Council Region III and ASLAG Kapampangan Artist Guild collaborated together with the desire to inform and enjoin the public about the newly-launched Nutri-Jingle of Region III regarding the 10 Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos. The contest was organized with the goal of spreading information in a fun and creative manner for the youth eventually for lifestyle and behavioral change. It also taps the public’s awareness that there are government programs that address hunger and malnutrition, especially among children.

Aslag Kapampangan staged a song, dance and video making contest targeting the school children of Pamapanga elementary, highschool and college for the promotion of good Nutrition through the 10 NGF. The event was held at Robinsons Starmills Pampanga last November 8, 2013, 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

Nutrition Program Coordinator Rhodora G. Maestre gave a message stressing on the youth’s important roles in the creation and promotion of lifestyle change beneficial for all. Rev. Fr. Ronnie Cao, former Youth Ministry Coordinator and president of ASLAG Kapampangan, together with his co-founders Mr. and Mrs. Ben and Deng Escasa expressed that they had a challenging yet pleasurable time organizing such event since they get to interact with the youth of Pampanga.

The grand champion won P15,000.00 as cash prize and a computer showcase for the school, cash prizes were also provided for other winners while non-winners had consolation prizes. The event indeed has made the children sing, dance and know the nutri-jingle by heart imparting that good nutrition and good health are but the best treasures one can have. In partnership with Non Government Organizations such as ASLAG Kapampangan Artist Guild, the spread and promotion of the simple primary recommendations such as the NCF will be creatively fulfilled.
