Municipal Nutrition Committee (MNC) of Zarraga, Iloilo led by Municipal Nutrition Action Officer (MNAO) and Vice Mayor Ma. Jofel Soldevilla and the Zarraga Multi-Purpose Cooperative, organized a BNS refresher activity for the 26 Barangay Nutrition Scholars of Zarraga last June 16, 2017 which was facilitated by the National Nutrition Council (NNC), Region VI.

        Nutrition Program Coordinator (NPC) Nona B. Tad-y, together with 3 other staff of NNC Region 6 led the refresher course/workshop where the BNSes were asked to express their challenges encountered in the field, solutions undertaken and their recommendations.

            With the presence of the Municipal Mayor, Hon. John Tarrosa and Vice Mayor/MNAO Soldevilla, workable solutions were committed by them such as the provision of OPT Plus forms and the passing of a resolution for the reorganization and activation of Barangay Nutrition Committees.

            Also during the activity, the functions and core values of a Barangay Nutrition Scholar were reiterated to remind the participants of the true essence of being a BNS.

            The refresher course/workshop was held at the Multi-Purpose Cooperative Conference Hall of Zarraga, Iloilo.
