Barangay Nutrition Scholars play a major role in delivering nutrition and other health-related services in the community. They also monitor the nutritional status of children and other nutritionally at-risk groups and refer to the services that require immediate interventions.

In line with this, the Local Government Unit of Kalamansig in partnership with the National Nutrition Council XII conducted a 3-day Training for the Barangay Nutrition Scholars. The training aims to deepen the participant's awareness, improve their skills and abilities in accordance with their expected roles as BNS and provide technical assistance and nutrition updates for better delivery of nutrition services in the community. Included topics in the course were PPAN, BNS program, roles, and functions of BNS, BNS Forms, roles, and functions of BNC, and E-OPT Plus tool.

The Municipal Nutrition Office and the BNSs expressed their appreciation for the basic course conducted as it enlightened them on their roles, and thus can now provide quality health and nutrition services to their respective community.
