“Kalamidad paghandaan: Gutom at
Malnutrisyon Agapan”
Nutrition is always
the highlight every month of July for it is considered as the Nutrition month.
It is celebrated in the entire Philippines whereas different activities are
implemented. Today’s nutrition month theme is ““Kalamidad paghandaan: Gutom at
Malnutrisyon Agapan” which is in connection to the disaster preparedness
program of the government.
This theme makes thought that it is really made for us to store foods, most
especially fruits and vegetables in preparation for the disasters if ever.
Malnutrition and starvation are some serious problems which arise after every
catastrophe. It is why I support today’s theme because this is one way to
reduce the number of underfed and deprivations in our country. It is then prompted
to conduct activities for the welfare of those who has lack of knowledge about
adversity awareness. Subsequently, self-confidence as well as skills will be
developed through expression of hidden abilities.
The 2014 Nutrition Month Theme aims to
uphold interventions in addressing the nutrition needs of the Filipinos
extending from preparedness, response, recovery and rehabilitation phases. It
also aims to trigger appropriate, coherent and timely response from the
Nutrition Cluster at all levels. Moreover, it stresses a public responsibility
to develop an attitude of “I am ready” especially among the most nutritionally
vulnerable population and hazard-prone areas in the country. It is believed
that underpinning nutrition awareness is a great key to better prepare and
efficiently respond to Nutrition in Emergencies!
