MALUNGON, Sarangani – Hundreds of kids
from different preschools were given various toys and gifts amid the
celebration of the 39th Nutrition Month that was initiated by Sagittarius
Mine’s (SMI) and the local government, through its Rose Feeds the Children (RFC)
program in Malungon, Sarangani Province.
Dubbed
as “Gutom at malnutrisyon, sama-sama nating wakasan,” the whole day affair was
attended by no less Sarangani Cong. Manny Pacquiao and wife, Vice
Governor-elect Jinkee Jamora-Pacquiao who shared their time of having fun with
kids from the 15 nursery schools of barangays Malalag Cogon, Malandag and
Nagpan at the municipal gymnasium.
RFC organizer Roselyn Dadivas-Constantino,
better half of Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino said the celebration was assisted
by Sagittarius Mines Incorporated (SMI) in its bid to share the company’s
concern on children’s health and nutrition. SMI officials said these are among
the priorities that are specified under its community education and development
programs.
“Actually this is now the second time that
Sagittarius Mines have shared assistance to our RFC nutrition program. Last
year, the company also helped the local government in sharing food and gifts to
over a thousand children at Sunken Arena here in this municipality,” said
Constantino, who also thanked the Pacquiao couple of their unfading support to
the Constantino administration.
Mayor
Constantino said the gathering was held in bond to his wife’s (Roselyn)
birthday celebration on July 13, day before Malungon town celebrated its 2-day
(July 14-15, 2013) star studded 44th –year Foundation Anniversary.
Reports
said through the efforts and direct supervision of Ms. Constantino, the local
nutrition council’s concurrent chairperson, Malungon have able to achieve
prestigious awards as being Consistent Regional Outstanding Winner in Nutrition
in 2007 and 2008, in Region 12. (Isagani Palma – MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).
