SOCCSKSARGEN—The National Nutrition Council XII brings Nutrition School on-the-air online thru the 10 Kumainments Nutrition e-school. With the limited mobility due to the on-going quarantine health protocols, NNC XII ensures that the proper information of good nutrition is unhampered especially amidst the pandemic crisis.

Just like the aims of the Nutrition school-on-the-air, this initiative is developed to create awareness to the general public to adopt good nutrition practices utilizing the online platform through ZOOM application. This will comprise 12 sessions which will cover the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos or also known as the 10 Kumainments.

With a total of 24 enrollees, the Nutrition e-school started last November 10 and currently running on the 4^th session and is scheduled every Tuesday and Wednesday at 3:00 o-clock in the afternoon. A 5-item quiz will be given and one highest scorer will receive a 100-peso worth of load every after session. NNC XII will conduct virtual graduation and will recognize the Top 5 Kumainment Honor Students at the end of 12 sessions which will receive tokens and certificates.

NPC Latonio encouraged beforehand to grab this opportunity to learn more about the importance of good nutrition. Aside from being free, this will truly benefit not only the enrollees but also their households as additional learners reached.

NNC on the otherhand, believes that these e-schoolers will also serve as the additional catalysts in putting forward the importance of good nutrition in their respective community providing appropriate nutrition care to the vulnerable populations particularly the infant and young children, pregnant, elderlies and persons with disabilities.
