In various residential communities in Metro Manila, one would know it is already National Nutrition Month when schoolchildren and their parents walk around the barangays in a mini-procession, the kids dressed in colorful vegetable costumes like eggplant, tomato, apple, egg, milk, etc.

Proper Nutrition Is Everyone's Concern

July has been the designated Nutrition Month since ex-President Ferdinand Marcos issued Presidential Decree No. 491, directing the National Nutrition Council (NNC) to lead in the nationwide observance. The law’s objective is to create greater awareness on the importance of nutrition among Filipinos.

The schools are the best venues for educating the youth about nutrition, and they are most happy to support the NNC in its education and information mission because well-nourished schoolchildren are physically and mentally stable and easy to teach.
