Starting December 2, 2015, ABS-CBN Northern Mindanao’s morning TV show, Pamahaw Espesyal will feature a new nutrition segment “Busog Trip” in partnership with the National Nutrition Council X. The airing of the segment intensifies and sustains ABS-CBN and NNC X’s partnership on Promote Good Nutrition following the success of the nutrition advocacy forum during the 6th Kapamilya- Grand Serbisyo Patrol in July 24, 2015.
“Busog Trip” will be hosted by Miss Nicole Abas-Datayan with NNC X staff April Rose N. Apas and Fatima E. Villaremo acting as co-hosts. Busog Trip will be a two-minute cooking segment which will feature easy- to-prepare nutritious recipes for the Christmas season. The segment will also highlight and underscore the importance of food safety as well as the nutritional values of the recipes. Recipes to be featured in the Busog Trip segment were taken from NNC’s publications “Mga Lutuing Gulay Araw-arawin: Simple, Mura, at Masustansiya”, “Mga Piling Lutuing Itlog- Tunay na Pampalusog!” at “Mga Piling Lutuing Gulay- Masustansiya na, Masarap pa!.” The recipes MMK Munchkins (Malunggay, Munggo, Kalabasa), Egg Potato Salad and Kalabasa Pansit will be featured in the first three episodes of Busog Trip.
In addition, NNC X was also tapped as expert/resource person in ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol Northern Mindanao 30-seconder “For Your Information” (FYI) segment aired last November 25. Topic was on proper weight management for adults using the Body Mass Index as indicator in support of Kumainment # 9 Panatilihin ang tamang.
Through the partnership, ABS-CBN NM commits to putting nutrition at the center of media advocacy by maximizing the potential of television as a medium of disseminating updated and appropriate information on nutrition and contributing to changing behaviour and practices of the viewing public. ABS-CBN NM is a member of NNC X’s media network MANGO DIEZ or the Media Advocates for Nutrition of GOvernance in Region X.
Both ABS-CBN NM and NNC X believe that through the help of media campaign on Promote Good Nutrition, the improvement of nutrition situation will be addressed. arna
