NPC Marissa DM. Navales’ courtesy call to Governor Mohamad Khalid Dimaporo last July 10 opened a room for Lanao Del Norte (LDN) to address its nutrition situation. The 2011-2013 OPT Results and Ranking of LDN revealed that it ranks highest among provinces in terms of prevalence of undernutrition. The data also showed that two to three municipalities of the Province are included in the Top 10 Nutritionally Depressed Municipalities in Northern Mindanao for the past three years. NPC Navales suggested data validation in terms of appropriateness of weighing tools used and competencies of service providers conducting the weighing. Governor Dimaporo makes a prompt action to address this nutrition concerns by requesting NNC X to assist LDN in undertaking the provincial nutrition planning workshop. Governor Dimaporo further requests that the planning workshop be immediately set in August. srdc
