To the 4th-year BS Nutrition and Dietetics students I met yesterday at University of Mindanao—

Thank you for listening and for showing up during our first review session on Community & Public Health Nutrition.
It was my first time teaching a full class like this and I’m glad it started with you all🫶

We still have more sessions ahead… see you again next week! 💚

Ayon sa mga doctor, mas mabuti ang kumain ng husto sa umaga para sa enerhiya at metabolismo.

Almusal: Kumain sa loob ng 1-2 oras pagkagising para simulan ang metabolismo at magbigay ng enerhiya.

Tanghalian: Kumain 4-5 oras pagkatapos ng almusal. Ang maagang tanghalian ay nakakatulong sa mas mahusay na metabolismo at pamamahala ng timbang.

Hapunan: Kumain ng 2-3 oras bago matulog para sa maayos na pagtunaw at maiwasan ang pagkaabala sa tulog.

Merienda: Kung ang agwat ng pagkain ay higit sa 4-5 oras, isang maliit na balansadong merienda na may protina, fiber, at malusog na fats ang makakatulong.

Prevention is better than cure. Sa pamamagitan ng tamang nutrisyon, healthy lifestyle, at regular check-up, maiiwasan ang Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

As a Nutritionist-Dietitian and health advocate, I firmly believe that proper nutrition and lifestyle play a vital role in preventing and managing chronic diseases.

I had the privilege of attending the 37th Intensive Training Course for Diabetes Educators in Makati last August 18–22, 2025.

And I am proud to share that I am now a Certified RND–Assistant Diabetes Educator Specialist through the Philippine Center for Diabetes Education Foundation, Inc.

This milestone strengthens my mission to provide evidence-based nutrition and diabetes education that empowers individuals to take charge of their health.

I am looking forward to applying this knowledge in guiding clients toward sustainable wellness.

Because together, we can take small steps toward healthier living.

When was the last time you listened to a nutrition story told by someone?

As a Nutritionist-Dietitian, I’m often the one speaking. But during my last event for the 51st Nutrition Month celebration last July 30, I had the chance to sit back and listen, this time, as a judge.

This year’s Best Nutri-Story Teller Contest focused on overnutrition, a growing concern we sometimes overlook.

See different entries here: https://www.facebook.com/valenciacnc

The stories were simple, but true.
One ate too much, another avoided healthy foods, and one learned why our food choices matter.

Often, these stories reflect real-life habits which many kids don’t know what a balanced meal looks like.
Sometimes they eat too much of one thing, or not enough of the others. But with awareness and care, overnutrition can be prevented.

Thank you so much, Valencia City Nutrition Committee for having me and for the meaningful Nutrition Month celebration! 💚

Happy 51st National Nutrition Month!

Last July 15, 2025, I was invited to speak at IBA College of Mindanao Inc. for their Nutrition Month celebration.

I shared one clear message with the students, teachers, and staff:

1. Food and nutrition are human rights
2. Working together is important
3. We all have a role to play

This year’s theme says it all:
“Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priotity! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!”

Thank you, IBA College of Mindanao Inc. for the warm welcome. 💚
