CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM
The Taytay Nutrition Office, through the leadership of Mr. Emmanoel S. Matela, RND, Municipal Nutrition Action Officer, proudly supported the Child Nutrition Program initiated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, held on August 29, 2026, in Barangay San Juan, Taytay, Rizal.
As part of the program, our dedicated Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) provided Operation Timbang Plus (OPT) services and nutrition support, including Vitamin A, Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF), and Micronutrient Powder (MNP).
Meanwhile, Mr. Kenzo Jonathan B. Cruz, RND, conducted a meaningful discussion on the First 1,000 Days, emphasizing the importance of proper nutrition from pregnancy through the early years of a child’s life. Nutrition assessments were also provided to children, breastfeeding mothers, pregnant women, and parents to help identify their nutritional needs and provide appropriate guidance and interventions.
The success of this initiative was made possible through the support of Mayor Allan Martine S. De Leon, Vice Mayor Jan Victor “JV” Cabitac, and the 13 Sangguniang Bayan, in cooperation with Barangay Captain Rasel Valera.
The Taytay Nutrition Office continues to strengthen partnerships with non-government organizations (NGOs), community groups, and other stakeholders to expand nutrition awareness and promote better nutrition practices throughout the community.
💙 Together, we work toward healthier children, healthier families, and a healthier Taytay!
