he Municipal Nutrition Program under the Itogon Municipal Health Services Office (MHSO), facilitated by program coordinators Ms. Justene Aquiso (Nurse II) and Dr. Marie Jorelyn P. Bahingawan (Rural Health Physician), recently conducted a crucial workshop aimed at enhancing community-level nutrition initiatives. From June 26-27, 2025, the team, alongside the Municipal Nutrition Committee (MNC) and its Technical Working Group, together with dedicated Midwives and Barangay Nutrition Scholars, traveled to San Juan, La Union, for an intensive two-day session.

The workshop focused on key components for effective nutrition governance: a Barangay Nutrition Action Plan Orientation, the development of a Barangay Nutrition Action Re-entry Plan for 2025, and a comprehensive Barangay Nutrition Action Plan Orientation Formulation Workshop. This proactive approach ensures that the barangays of Itogon are well-equipped with updated knowledge and strategic frameworks to address nutritional challenges effectively. By investing in the capacity of our local health and nutrition frontlines, the MHSO is committed to fostering healthier communities and improving the nutritional status of all residents.
