4K schoolchildren benefit from milk feeding program Nov 2023 Bubalus milk feeding program By Marijoan Nefulda A total of 4,142 schoolchildren benefitted from supplementary milk feeding programs conducted by the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte (PGIN), City Government of Batac (CGB), and the Department of Social Welfare and Development Regional Office I (DSWDRO1). 4K schoolchildren benefit from milk feeding program Said milk feeding programs are implemented pursuant to Republic Act 11037 or the “Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act”. Its aim is to address malnutrition in school children by augmenting their food intake for them to meet their daily food and nutrient requirements, restore their normal nutritional status and help boost their immune system. The PGIN, under the leadership of Gov. Matthew M. Manotoc, will initiate a milk feeding program for 450 schoolchildren in the province beginning on July 17. This program will continue for a duration of 120 days. The feeding program, now in its fourth year, is an annual event launched during the province’s nutrition month celebration. Likewise, the CGB, headed by Mayor Albert D. Chua, launched its milk feeding supplementation on July 18. A total of 127 beneficiaries will participate in this program, which will run for 90 days. This marks the 5th consecutive year that the city government has conducted this initiative in partnership with DA-PCC. Both the PGIN and CGB have provided 200-ml sterilized toned milk to their beneficiaries. The DSWD-RFO will also implement its 3rd cycle of milk feeding for 3,565 schoolchildren in Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. Selected beneficiaries will receive sterilized milk for 120 days. Collectively, these feeding programs valued at PHP10M not only address the malnutrition problem but also benefit the dairy value chain players, especially the milk producers. This program will create higher demand for locally produced milk, providing them with an additional source of income and ensuring sustainable livelihoods.
