It’s a wrap!

We’ve successfully concluded the 3-Day Workshop on the Formulation of the 2026–2028 Barangay Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP) and its integration into the 2026 Annual Investment Program.

Despite several challenges—including changes in dates and venues, air-conditioning issues, and unexpected power interruptions—the activity pushed through and achieved its goal. Each barangay was able to complete a draft of their BNAP. When they return to their respective barangays, they just need to polish their draft and secure the approval of the Barangay Council.

The newly elected Mayor and Municipal Nutrition Committee (MNC) Chairperson, Hon. Jade A. Agullo, proudly wore his NNC advocacy jacket, a symbolic token given exclusively to Local Chief Executives as champions of nutrition. The jacket was personally awarded by RNPC Catalino P. Dotollo Jr. of NNC VIII during the first day of the Workshop on the 2026–2028 Barangay Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP) and Investment Program Formulation.

In his message, Mayor Agullo emphasized that good nutrition is the foundation of good health, and assured the people of Dulag that they have his full support in all efforts to improve the health and nutrition status of the community.

This event also marked the kick-off activity of Dulag’s celebration of the 51st Nutrition Month.

The theme for this year is:
“Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin.”
This sub-theme is anchored on the overarching theme:
“Sa PPAN: Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat para sa Lahat.”

The celebration highlights the importance of ensuring food and nutrition security as a fundamental right. It aligns with the goals of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2023–2028, which serves as the country’s strategic blueprint for nutrition. The PPAN is also aligned with the Philippine Development Plan 2023–2028 and supports the national vision set by Ambisyon Natin 2040.

The activity was funded by the Liga ng mga Barangay, showing their continued support for the health and well-being of the people of Dulag.
