1 December 2021, Cagayan de Oro City – In celebration of the National Breastfeeding Awareness Month or NBAM every August, the National Nutrition Council Region X organized the “NorMin TikTok Challenge: Breastfeeding TSEk!” as one of the initiatives to protect, promote and support breastfeeding in the country.

The contest aimed to raise the significance of correct (tama), enough (sapat), and exclusive (eksklusibo) breastfeeding, in relation to the 2021 NBAM theme: “Tulong-tulong sa Pagpapasuso sa First 1000 Days!”.

During the 2021 Regional Nutrition Awarding Ceremony last 18 November 2021, winners were awarded.
