Local dads to support LGU nutrition programs
LOCAL legislators from the provinces of Cebu, Bohol, Oriental Negros, Siquijor, Cavite and Samar signed a resolution strongly supporting the nutrition program of their local government units (LGU).
Led by Philippine Councilors’ League national president Carlo Pontico Fortuna and National Secretary-General Corazon del Mundo, the legislators committed to be nutrition champions in their respective areas of jurisdiction.
Sustainability
The elected officials agreed that for the sus-tainability of their LGU’s nutrition program, they will sit as vice chairpersons of the local nutrition committees, designate full-time nutrition program coordinators in their cities, municipalities, provinces or barangays, and establish a trust fund for nutrition.
Conference
The group convened for the First Legislators’ Conference on Nutrition held recently at the Metro Center Hotel in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
The conference was organized by the Philippine Association of Nutrition-Cebu Chapter, Regional Nutrition Committee in coordination with the Philippines Councilors’ League.
