Nutrition Month 2017, with the theme “Healthy diet gawing habit-FOR LIFE!” was launched in Western Visayas through a kick-off activity last July 19 at Punta Villa Resort, Iloilo City.
The highlight of the said activity was the launching of “10 ka Sugo sa Nutrisyon, Kapagsik kag Kabaskog sang Kabuhi” which is the Hiligaynon translation of the 10 Kumainments. “10 ka Sugo” is a useful guide to achieve healthy diet which is the advocacy of this year’s Nutrition Month.
Also during the kick-off activity, Outstanding Barangay Nutrition Scholars (OBNS) across Western Visayas battled for championship in “Ikaw na Bes, BNS!”, a quiz bee conducted by the National Nutrition Council (NNC) Region 6, during the Regional Launching activity of Nutrition Month 2017 last July 19, 2017 at Punta Villa Resort, Iloilo City.
Among the contenders for the Regional OBNS, Gina Guadalupe of Bago City, bagged the championship title followed by Juvy Calero of Talisay City as the 1st runner-up and Lucille Caliguiran of Patnongon, Aklan as the 2nd runner-up.
Participants pledged their commitment to support the theme of Nutrition Month 2017 by answering the question “Anong healthy diet ang gagawin mong habit – FOR LIFE?” and placing their answers inside the “kulon” jars.
