Food and Nutrition for Every Filipino: My Role, My Responsibility

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

     

This year's Nutrition Month theme "Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!” reminds us that access to nutritious food is not a privilege, it is a basic human right. As part of Marconi, We proudly supported this advocacy, not just by joining in different activities, but by excelling in them. Some of my classmates joined in the said activities, and was crowned Nutri-quiz champion, Oratorical speaking champion, Poster making champion, and represented in the Food Fest with pride and purpose. 

      The achievements are more than trophies, they reflect our commitment to promoting nutrition awareness. We believe that food should not only satisfy hunger but nourish the body and mind. Good nutrition is key to learning, growth, and a brighter future for all. Our section Marconi stands not just as winners, but as voices for change. Because everyone deserve enough food, not someday, but today.

     

     As a student, I believe I can take part in achieving this goal in many meaningful ways. I can educate myself and others about proper nutrition. By understanding what a balanced diet is and why it’s important, I can make better food choices and influence my peers to do the same. I can support local food sustainability by encouraging others to grow their own food, even in small home gardens. This promotes self-reliance and can help ensure a steady source of fresh vegetables for families. Simple acts like avoiding food waste and sharing excess food with those in need also contribute to food security in our communities. I can participate in school campaigns or nutrition related programs, helping spread correct information about healthy eating. The 2025 Nutrition Month theme reminds us that nutritious food is a right, not a luxury.  I may be young, but I can make a difference by learning, sharing, and acting. Together, with small efforts from many, we can create a healthier, food-secure future for all Filipinos.
