Cebu City – “Akong panghinaot na mapun-an pa ang akong kaalam kabahin sa saktong nutrisyon human aning klaseha, aron magamit nako sa akong mga anak ug ma-share sa akong mga kaila” (I hope to learn more information on proper nutrition after the classes so that I can share them to my future children as well as my loved ones). This is one of the few expectations of Ms. Mary Rose B. Anuba of Brgy. Cabitoonan, Toledo City, one of the official students of the idol ko si Nanay Nutrition School On-Air Season 2 during the virtual orientation held on 06 July 2022 via zoom conference call.
Forty-one (41) official students attended the virtual orientation facilitated by NNC 7. The orientation is part of the preparatory activity of the school on-air. The orientation served as a venue for the virtual students to learn the rules and regulations of the program and the lessons to be learned all throughout the sessions. The activity also allows them to share their expectations and commitment to the program. ND II Franz Cassandra R. Ontina presented the mechanics of the program while NO III Nasudi G. Soluta facilitated the pre-testing activity.
The Idol ko si Nanay Nutrition School On-Air is a strategy of NNC 7 and organized with the Media Information Network for Nutrition and Development 7 (MIND 7) to help improve the knowledge of mothers and caregivers through learning sessions that will be conducted on air via NNC7’s Facebook Page.
