NAOs and CNPCs from the cities of Cebu, Dumaguete, Lapu-lapu and Carmen, Bohol were also present to provide the LGU’s point of view.

Mr. Reginaldo T.

NPC Dr. Parolita A. Mission thanked the members of the RNC for their continued support in the fight against malnutrition by always looking at the nutrition implication in their respective programs. Dr. Mission also encouraged the LGUs to anchor their local nutrition action plans in the PPAN to have a unified target towards solving malnutrition.
