1 July 2022, Cagayan de Oro City – The National Nutrition Council (NNC) Region X partnered with the City Nutrition Committee (CNC) of Cagayan de Oro to launch the 48th Nutrition Month Campaign on 1 July 2022 at Divisoria, this city.
The kick-off activity, which is a first since the pandemic hit in 2020, was attended by more than 250 guests and participants. Members of the Regional Nutrition Committee (RNC) X, City Health Department Head Dr. Rachel D. Dilla, CNC members, Barangay officials, members of the Barangay Nutrition Committees (BNCs), Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNSs), City Nutrition Office staff headed by Nutrition Action Officer Nenita F. Rabe, and NNC X staff attended the launching activity.
Highlighting the event is the annual ceremonial unveiling of the 2022 Nutrition Month theme and sharing of key messages of the celebration. Nutrition Program Coordinator Gladys Mae S. Fernandez of NNC X called all participants to be part of the solution to promote nutrition in the new normal. In her message, she urged all nutrition stakeholders to make informed choices on health and nutrition to improve resistance against illnesses, and to take better care of the nutritionally vulnerable groups.
This activity is just the first of many as all local government units, agencies, and other nutrition partners are moving in unison as One Region in Nutrition. As the tagline of NNC goes, “Nutrisyong sapat, para sa lahat”! especially in the new normal. (NO III Sheena Marie G. Talle)
