src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> These were the appeal of Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator in Region VI Nona B. Tad-y during the Accelerated Hunger Mitigation Program Advocacy and Consultation Meeting on Tuesday at Barrio House, San Jose, Antique. Tad-y said that Antique falls under Priority 2 provinces in the Hunger Mitigation assistance in the region. Thus the province to include 18 towns will received assistance in the form of services including nutrition. Reports show that poverty is still the root cause of hunger in the country. Its either the people have no money to buy food or there is insufficient food to eat or not available at all. President Arroyo has instructed all involved government agencies in the Accelerated Hunger Mitigation Program to fast track implementation in the 54 food-poor provinces nationwide to address poverty, hunger and malnutrition. The Philippine Government has committed to improve the lives of the poor in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which were initiated by the United Nations in 2000. It has committed to eradicate by one-half extreme poverty and hunger between 1990 and 2015. Tad-y in a call to LGUs specifically mentioned the organization and reactivation of nutrition committees. Make it functional and designate a full time nutrition action officer. She also encouraged deployment of barangay nutrition scholars and health workers and implement hunger mitigation programs and measures. Governor Salvacion Z. Perez in her message said that the province has started its nutrition program but should be more focus; we have food but should be managed and above all the population should also be managed. The National Nutrition Council will put a Nutri-Eskwela school with focus only on proper nutrition and food habits in Laua-an town to help mothers learn and acquire skills in food preparation.
