July is usually observed as the nutrition month by every school in our division. This year's theme is "Gutom at malnutrisyon, sama-sama nating wakasan!" focuses on "the need for concerted multi-stakeholder actions to reduce hunger and malnutrition" as pointed out by the National Nutrition Council (NNC).

This is stressed on NNC website, that reads in part: "The NM 2013 focus on hunger is part of the Philippines' commitment to the UN Millenium Development Goal particularly Goal 1 which is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, specifically to reduce by half of the underweight-for-age under-fives from 27.3% in 1990 to 13.7% in 2015 and reduce by half the percentage of households with inadequate dietary energy intake from 74.2% in 1993 to 37.1% in 2015. While malnutrition prevalence is declining, it is considered at a slow pace with the prevalence of underweight-for-age among preschoolers at 20.2% in 2011"

I have witnessed recently the on-the-spot cooking contest sponsored by the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) recently as a part of its field day, showcasing organic agriculture and other projects of National Crop Research and Development Center here in La Carlota City.

I observed that this contest could be a good avenue and development for prospective professional cook. School pupils from Grades V and VI participated in this half-day cooking contest.

Actually, BPI Agricultureal Center Chief IV, Milagros B. Abaquita sent a communication inviting those Grade V and VI pupils of five selected elementary schools within the vicinity of the center and our school, Cubay Elem. School was one of the participating schools. The other schools were Nagasi ES, Ferlou ES, Haguimit ES, and La Granja.
