Serving as witnesses were NNC 7 NO III Ms. Susan Y. Orpilla and KBP – Cebu Executive Secretary, Ms. Yoli Gendrauli. Around twenty (20) KBP – Cebu officers and members witnessed the signing.
Part of NNC 7’s mandate to build partnerships in promoting good nutrition in the region, the collaboration aims to promote good nutrition to the adolescent through the use of the 2ndBroadcaster’s Manual on Adolescent Health by the DJ’s and broadcasters of the different KBP member stations. The manual can also serve as filler in between programs or as reference for their news, trivia and other forms of broadcasts.
Expressing their affirmation and support of the project, everyone present during the signing recited the Oath of Commitment for Nutrition and signed the tarpaulin baring the oath.
With this partnership, NNC 7 envisions that many adolescents would be encouraged to choose and eat healthier food and live a healthier lifestyle, and with KBP – Cebu Chapter’s help, that vision is closer. // DFB
