Although it is the president's top wish and dreams to eliminate hunger completely,
00:04
it is also his government's policy to ensure each and every Filipino, young and old,
00:09
is properly nourished, healthy, and strong. Hence, he is at the forefront of a campaign
00:14
with the Department of Health that Filipinos have healthy food options
00:17
in their diet. Our Clazer Pardilla tells us more.
00:23
Five-months-pregnant Honalyn is finding it difficult to meet or cover her daily expenses
00:28
after losing her job. She can no longer afford medicine and has failed to secure
00:33
her necessary vaccine for herself and her unborn child.
00:48
Jeremy, on the other hand, works tirelessly to provide sufficient food and vitamins
00:53
for his six-month-pregnant wife. He is determined to ensure their
00:56
babies do not fall victim to the same health challenges their eldest endured
01:01
growing up often ill.
01:20
In response to these pressing issues, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. convened
01:24
government agencies to prioritize the fight against malnutrition,
01:28
a problem affecting millions of Filipinos. The president highlighted the critical importance
01:34
of the first 1,000 days of a child's life from conception to their second birthday
01:39
as a foundation for proper growth and development.
01:55
So, to show three out of ten Filipino children under the age of five
02:13
suffer from malnutrition, often rooted in inadequate nutrition during this crucial early stage.
02:24
To address this, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. instructed the National Nutrition Council
02:33
to lead comprehensive programs that ensure children's health and well-being.
02:38
These initiatives include distributing free nutritious food, vitamins, vaccines,
02:43
and providing regular health check-ups for mothers and children.
02:47
By 2026, the government will adopt a convergent strategy for its nutrition budget,
02:53
consolidating funds from various agencies to focus on a unified goal, eliminating malnutrition.
03:00
Currently, the health department has allocated P500 million to support the first 1,000 days
03:06
program. This budget is expected to grow significantly as government efforts intensify.
03:12
High priority areas include provinces with alarming rates of malnutrition,
03:16
such as Pangasinan, Isabela, Northern Samar, Bangsamoro, and other affected regions.
03:23
Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development continues to distribute
03:27
P3,000 in monthly food stamps to the country's poorest families,
03:32
aiming to elevate hunger and improve nutrition.
03:35
Our target this year is to onboard and serve 300,000 household beneficiaries.
03:42
We are about to achieve this. Partner, we have already onboarded 260,000 as of today.
