Las Piñas rolls out kitchen for children

The so-called "Kusina ng Las Piñas" was rolled out in Las Piñas City. This auxiliary feeding program activity is an initiative of the Las Piñas city government, led by Mayor Imelda T. Aguilar, Vice Mayor April Aguilar, and the City Council. It was held at Castillo Compound, Brgy. Pamplona 2; and Florante, Bonifacio, and Trinidad Streets, Brgy. Pamplona 1.

A total of 600 individuals, specifically children, were provided with nutritious rice toppings (picadillo with boiled egg) and bottled water prepared by nutritionists-dietitians and barangay nutrition scholars through the Las Piñas City Nutrition Office, headed by OIC/City Nutrition Action Officer Dr. Julio P. Javier II, in cooperation with barangay nutrition action officer and barangay health workers.

The activity aims to address malnutrition in the city among children and teach their parents how to prepare nutritious foods. The mayor said they will continue the nutrition program in the whole city to stave off problems in connection with malnutrition.
