Nourishing Learners, Empowering Learning!

Today, SDO Baybay proudly kicked off the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) and Milk Feeding Activity at San Juan Elementary School—a meaningful initiative that reminds us that feeding is an essential part of a child’s learning journey.

Kapag busog, malusog, at well-nourished ang ating mga learners, mas handa silang makinig, matuto, makilahok, at maabot ang kanilang buong potensyal. Because learning becomes more meaningful when no child has to learn on an empty stomach.

Our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who worked together to make this activity a successful and meaningful one. Your time, effort, and commitment truly make a difference in the lives of our learners.

A special thank you to our valued partners of SDO Baybay—Visayas State University (VSU) and the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC)—for your generous support and for providing milk for our learners. Your partnership helps us nourish not only the bodies of our children but also their hopes and dreams.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Barangay San Juan Council for the full support extended to this activity. Your continued partnership and commitment to the welfare of our learners are truly valued.

And of course, thank you to the entire San Juan Elementary School family for making this kick-off possible and meaningful! 🌱

Together, let us continue building a healthier, happier, and more ready-to-learn generation.

Because every child deserves to learn with a full stomach, a healthy body, and a hopeful heart.

"Education begins when a child is ready to learn.”

A meaningful reminder from Dr. Manuel P. Albaño, Schools Division Superintendent, during his inspirational message at the Kick-off of the School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) and Milk Feeding Activity held at San Juan Elementary School on August 13, 2026.
