Cebu City -- As part of its intervention to address the problem of hunger and malnutrition using radio, the most available form of mass media, the National Nutrition Council has initiated the Nutriskwela Community Radio Network Program (NCRNP). The program aims to empower the community through the dissemination of correct, relevant, and up-to-date nutrition and health information, as well as educational and developmental information from all relevant sectors of the community, government agencies, and non-government organizations.
The NCRP involves the setting up of non-profit, non-partisan community radio stations and the training of broadcast personnel in areas of the country with high malnutrition prevalence and which do not have easy access to commercial broadcast media. In Central Visayas, there are three (3) existing community radio stations. These are the DYNE (FM 97.5), DYNO (FM 98.5), and DYNH (FM 99.1). The DYNE known as Radyo Kahimsug is located in the municipality of Barili Cebu. This is managed by CTU- Barili School officials. The DYNO (FM 98.5 MHz) is named Radyo Kaigsoonan in Zamboanguita Negros Oriental which is being managed by their local government unit. The DYNH (FM 99.1 mHz) known as Radyo Kalampusan is in San Francisco Camotes, Cebu and managed by their local government.
