Jagna, Bohol – Delayed from its original National Evaluation schedule in March, the Municipality of Jagna finally gets its chance to prove itself worthy of the elusive 2nd Year Consistent Regional Outstanding Winner in Nutrition (CROWN) Award as the evaluation pushes through on the 26-29 May 2015.
Made up of five members, the National Evaluation Team, composed of NO III Ma. Cynthia B. Vengco (NNC 7), NO II Armand P. Manglicmot, ND I Eden Rouela M. Ruta (NFP, representing PHILCAN), SDS II Michael Dominic Z. Padlan (NEDA) and Mr. Teodoro Pelaez (Photo documenter) have come to examine every nook and cranny of the town’s nutrition implementation and verify their eligibility as 2nd year CROWN awardee.
To be able to prove themselves, the Jagna Municipal Nutrition Committee have to reach a score of 95%, a cumulative score from various NET activities such as municipal and barangay document desk reviews, validation weighing of pre-school children, interviews and site visitations, factors that will contribute to the determination if Jagna, indeed has the “X-factor”.
With all its efforts and their resolve to be the fifth town in the province of Bohol and in Central Visayas to claim the coveted Nutrition Honor Award, the municipality of Jagna continue to give their best in nutrition implementation as they await the NET verdict.
Meanwhile the Regional Evaluation Team is looking for an LGU to follow Jagna’s footsteps in nutrition success. //NGS
