Tanjay City - Social media becomes one of the media platforms to influence and advocate since it delivers messages across the globe as long as there is internet connection. This tool, especially Facebook application, has been widely utilized by Filipino netizens, making it the most powerful influencer across all age groups. Because of this, the National Nutrition Council also utilizes Facebook applications in promoting nutrition information. 

Since Tutok Kainan Supplementation Program is a banner program of the Early Childhood Care and Development, which aims in promoting awareness of the importance of child nutrition from pregnancy up to 2-years of age, it is critical that the agency informs the public of its existence. How did the National Nutrition Council Region VII do this? That is by introducing the TKSP Challenge! TKSP Challenge is a mix of social media challenges which interacts with viewers by letting them answer various challenges, quizzes and activities via the post’s comment section. This enables the Facebook Page followers of the National Nutrition Council Region VII to interact with their fellow followers, answer and get a chance to receive prizes and most especially, be informed on the first 1000 days campaign. 

Launched in 2022, it uploads a total of 12 TKSP Challenges and has rewarded seven followers to date. With more followers drawn to the page, the more NNC 7 will broadcast its campaign, promote good health and nutrition, and expand its social media reach. // DMO II Kristal Katrina Bacay, RN
