One's health is one’s wealth and like all precious things, it needs to be protected. It is a serious problem that needs urgent attention and action. There should be a growing awareness among the general public of the importance of breastfeeding, healthy lifestyle and good nutrition and how these actions will help eradicate malnutrition, hunger, and even mortality rate in the country. That is why an event like this is pushed by the National Nutrition Council.

Nutri-Talk sa Barangay jumpstarted  last 30 July 2011. The first recipient community of the said activity is Barangay Tagbak, Jaro in the City of Iloilo. 48 lactating and pregnant mothers, even fathers and local officials of the said barangay attentively participated in the lecturette given by Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator Nona B. Tad-y. Different issues were raised by the mothers during the open forum and were addressed also by MDG-F2030 Field Program Coordinator Dr. Anthony Redaniel. DYSI Super-Radyo, the NNC local media partner aired the whole activity live from 9:00-10:00 a.m. for the listening public to be informed about the importance of breastfeeding.
