Celebrating 50th Nutrition Month

Let the slogan contests and poster-making competitions begin! 🫶🏻🥗

For the 50th Nutrition Month, observed since 1974 under Presidential Decree 491 or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines, this year’s theme is “Sa PPAN: Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat!” (Through PPAN, let us collaborate on nutrition security for all!), emphasizing the national nutrition plan as the foundation for stakeholders to take action on nutrition.

The Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2023-2028 aims to enhance nutrition across all life stages by promoting healthier diets, positive nutrition practices, and increased access to quality nutrition services.

This year, let’s support PPAN and the National Nutrition Council in ending hunger and eliminating all forms of malnutrition! 💪
