The Provincial/City Nutrition Action Officers (P/CNAO) of the Bicol region held its 1st Regular Meeting at Legazpi Amigos Hometel on 27 February 2013. During the meeting, the group approved the proposal of its president, Dr. Vilma Hao to merge the PCNAOs and DCNPCs associations into one. She noted that both groups work for the same cause. Moreover, she noted that whenever the PCNAOs are not available, their DCNPC represents them in the meeting. NPC Reario committed to inform Ms. Raquel Buere, the President of the Bicol Nutrition Program Coordinators Association regarding this proposal. On the forthcoming Nutrition Month Celebration in July, the group will come up with a common activity to launch 2013 Nutrition Month on the 1st of July. Schedule of forthcoming annual nutrition evaluation or MELLPI was also finalized during the meeting. Given the national elections in May, most of the regional validation visits will be done from May 20 to end of June. However, the PCNAOs are more concerned about their own provincial and city nutrition evaluation, given that their members are busy with their own activities in the next 2 months. They are nonetheless optimistic that cooperation of the members could be harnessed once again this year and support would be provided by their local chief executives.
