MNAO CONSULTATION AND NUTRITION UPDATES MEETING

Grand Social Hall, Casa Real, Iloilo Province
September 17, 2026

One province. One commitment. One shared responsibility for every child.

The Municipal Nutrition Action Officers (MNAOs) of Iloilo Province came together today for the MNAO Consultation and Nutrition Updates Meeting, a meaningful venue to strengthen our collective commitment to improving the nutrition situation of our children, families, and communities.

The meeting provided an opportunity to review provincial nutrition priorities, share updates, discuss challenges, and identify strategies that can further strengthen nutrition program implementation at the local level.

PNAO Dr. Wendel T. Marcelo presented the Provincial OPT Plus Report 2026, highlighting the current nutrition situation and common challenges encountered during the conduct of Operation Timbang Plus.

The discussion emphasized the importance of accurate data, timely action, and strengthened strategies so that every child identified can be reached with the appropriate intervention.

The MNAOs were also updated on important national nutrition laws and policies, including RA 11148 (First 1,000 Days), RA 10028 (Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act), RA 11037 (Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act), EO 51 (Milk Code), RA 8172 (ASIN Law), and RA 8976 (Food Fortification Act) reminding us that our nutrition programs are not only responsibilities, but are also supported by clear national mandates.

What made the gathering even more meaningful was the sharing of local innovations from our municipalities, from the malunggay powder production of Leon, the Insumix Cookies of Passi City, to the Nutri-Chips production under the Sustainable Livelihood Program of Oton. These initiatives demonstrate that solutions to nutrition challenges can begin within our own communities when people come together with creativity, commitment, and compassion.

Every municipality has a role. Every MNAO has a voice. Every program can make a difference.

Our work in nutrition is not simply about numbers in a report. Behind every percentage is a child who deserves to grow, learn, and reach his or her full potential.
Behind every nutrition program is a family hoping for a healthier future. And behind every successful intervention are people who chose to take responsibility and act.

As we move forward, may this consultation inspire all MNAOs and our LGU partners to remain actively engaged, united, and committed to the nutrition agenda. Let us continue to bring nutrition closer to every barangay, strengthen what needs to be strengthened, sustain what works, and create solutions where challenges remain.

Let us not wait for nutrition problems to become bigger before we act. Let us use our data, our policies, our resources, and most importantly, our collective commitment to protect the children of Iloilo.

Because every child counts, every action matters, and every municipality can make a difference.

Together, let us take our responsibility, not only as nutrition workers, but as partners, advocates, and stewards of the future of every child in Iloilo.

Sa nutrisyon, walang iwanan.
Sa bawat bata, may pananagutan.
Sa Iloilo, sama-sama para sa mas malusog at mas maunlad na kinabukasan.

FARM TO PLATE: Bringing Healthy Food from the Farm to the Child’s Plate

Brgy. Salngan, Oton, Iloilo | September 16, 2026

Today, the Iloilo Provincial Government, the Local Government Unit of Oton, and the Barangay Salngan Day Care Center came together for a meaningful multi-sectoral engagement through the “Farm to Plate” activity, a joyful and interactive initiative promoting local, nutritious food and healthy eating among young children and their mothers.

The activity served as a start-off promotion and awareness initiative on the importance of building healthy eating habits early in life. Through Pinggang Pinoy, the children were introduced to the simple concept of eating a variety of foods in the right proportions, making every meal colorful, balanced, nutritious, and enjoyable.

But this activity was more than just a nutrition lesson. It was a learning experience shared by children and their mothers.

Mothers played a central role in the activity because they are among the most important influences in shaping their children's food choices and eating habits. They participated in discussions on food safety, proper food preparation, and the preparation of a healthy Pinggang Pinoy meal, followed by an actual hands-on food demonstration and cooking activity.

The children, meanwhile, learned through play, movement, and interactive activities that being healthy also means being active. They were introduced to the importance of handwashing and proper hygiene, helping them understand that keeping their hands clean is another important step in keeping themselves and their families healthy.

The Mother’s Learning Reflection gave the mothers an opportunity to pause and ask themselves:
“What have I learned today? What will I do differently when I go home?”

Because nutrition education becomes meaningful when learning in the community is transformed into healthy practices at home.

🌾 From the farm… to the plate… to the family.

The Farm to Plate activity demonstrates how nutrition can become more engaging when the LGU, barangay, day care workers, BNS, mothers, children, and other sectors work together. It shows that we do not always need expensive resources to promote good nutrition. What we need is commitment, creativity, teamwork, and the willingness to bring nutrition closer to the people.

We hope that this initiative in Barangay Salngan, Oton will inspire other barangays and LGUs to adapt and replicate similar activities in their communities, using locally available and affordable foods, interactive nutrition education, food demonstrations, healthy eating activities, and simple but meaningful messages that families can practice every day.

💚A healthy child begins with a healthy plate.
A healthy plate begins with informed parents.
And a healthier community begins when we work together.

Our heartfelt appreciation to Ms. Sheryl Mallorca and her BNS Team, the Barangay Officials of Salngan, the Day Care Center, the mothers, and most especially our enthusiastic Day Care children who made today's activity lively, meaningful, and memorable.

This is only the beginning.
Let us bring Farm to Plate to every barangay, because every child deserves a healthy start, every mother deserves the knowledge to nourish her family, and every community deserves the opportunity to grow healthier together.

Farm to Plate: Local Food. Healthy Plate. Healthy Child. Healthy Community.

HINUN-ANON: A Community Dialogue for Convergence, Participation and Action

On August 20, 2026, the Provincial Information and Community Affairs Office (PICAO), headed by Mr. Nerio Lujan, together with his dedicated staff, brought the spirit of HINUN-ANON to Barangay Lawigan, San Joaquin, Iloilo, creating a meaningful space where government and the community could come together, listen, share, and act.

HINUN-ANON is more than a dialogue. It is a convergence of people, programs, and services, bringing the Provincial Government closer to the grassroots and making government programs more accessible and understandable to the people.

Representatives from various provincial offices, including the Provincial Engineering Office, Provincial Agriculture Office, Provincial Sports Office, and Provincial Health Office, Nutrition Service, shared their programs, services, and initiatives that can respond to the needs and aspirations of the community.

The activity also provided an opportunity for the Barangay Punong Barangay, Kagawads, community leaders, and private organizations to voice their concerns, share experiences, ask questions, and identify areas where stronger collaboration can make a difference.

Through this convergence, we are reminded that meaningful development happens when government listens, communities participate, and different sectors work together toward a common goal.
From infrastructure and agriculture, to sports, health and nutrition, every program becomes more meaningful when it reaches the people it is meant to serve.

HINUN-ANON, listening to the community, bringing services closer, strengthening partnerships, and turning dialogue into action.

Our heartfelt appreciation to PICAO, headed by Mr. Nerio Lujan and his staff, for initiating this valuable platform for community engagement and convergence.

Together, let us continue to build healthier, empowered, resilient, and nutrition-secure communities.
