The Taguig City government marked National Nutrition Month on Monday with a ceremony highlighting food and nutrition security initiatives.
Led by the City Nutrition Office, the event at the Convention Hall featured the distribution of fresh vegetables and seeds from the city’s Urban Farms to participants.
Key programs showcased included Operation Timbang Plus, which assessed 112,162 children and provided vitamins and deworming services, and the Mobile Kitchen and Storytelling Event, serving nearly 2,000 children with meals and reading materials.
The Dietary Supplementation Program supported over 1,300 beneficiaries with nutritious food packs and assisted more than 2,000 pregnant and lactating mothers with vegetables and fortified rice.
The Urban Gardening project continues to transform vacant spaces into productive gardens for priority families across Taguig.
The city’s sustained efforts earned multiple awards, including Crown Awards and Nutrition Honor Awards Hall of Fame citations, with officials urging residents to join in building a healthier, more caring community.
