MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Oct. 5 (PIA) -- The Boy Scout Philippines (BSP) – Southern Leyte Council is in the height of preparations as they will host the Golden Jubilee Jamborette at Camp Danao in Maasin City on October 24-30, 2011 to mark the 50th council anniversary celebration.
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Oct. 6 (PIA) -- For consistently getting recognized in its nutrition program for the past six consecutive years, the historic island-municipality of Limasawa, this province, shines once again for the Nutrition Honor Award (NHA), the first local government unit (LGU) in Region 8 to reap such distinction, according to Nilda Rich, the Assistant Provincial Nutrition Action Officer.
In time with the golden anniversary celebration of the BSP - Southern Leyte Council, the provincial council will initiate for the conduct of a jamborette in the province, Maasin City Mayor Maloney Samaco, who is also the BSP – Southern Leyte Council Chairman, reported during the “Maasin City In Action” radio program, Tuesday at the DyDM radio station.
In a phone interview with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Tuesday, Rich said Limasawa was a Green Banner Awardee for nutrition in the years 2005, 2006, and 2007, while for the next three years, from 2008, 2009, and 2010, the LGU garnered the Consistent Regional Outstanding Winner in Nutrition (CROWN) award.
Samaco reported that at least 1,000 senior boy scouts, cub scouts delegates coming from the different municipalities in the province and other councils, who were also invited, were expected to join the provincial jamborette.
This year’s nutrition performance evaluation, which was based in the 2010 assessment, Limasawa made history again for landing in the top spot, this time the NHA, and for this outstanding effort it stands to receive P 500,000.00 from the National Nutrition Council (NNC), an agency under the Department of Health (DOH), Rich informed.
He also disclosed that another scouting activity which is the holding of a National Rovermoot in Davao City this year shall be conducted at the same period. He intends to send a lean delegation to the said scouting activity due to its conflict.
Awarding ceremony was slated to be held on October 25, 2011, in Manila, it was learned.
Last year, the provincial council hosted for the conduct of 7th National Rovermoot and the First One Visayas Regional Jamboree in Camp Danao, Maasin City.
Rich cited a decreasing trend of malnourished population in Limasawa, attributing this to the many nutrition-oriented activities initiated or supported by Mayor Melchor Petracorta.
Meanwhile, the first provincial Kawan holiday, another three- day scouting activity intended for the cubs scout with ages ranging from 6 – 10 years old was successfully conducted at Malapoc Norte Elementary School, Council Clerk Carl Carrayo reported to PIA Maasin.
Among the many nutrition-based activities, she noted a constant monitoring of children in great dangers to be malnourished, and before getting into the borderline, these target children will be the focus of Limasawa’s concentrated feeding program.
Carroyo also disclosed that last Monday, October 5, selected boy scouts has started to hold one-day offices at the provincial and city offices from the office of the City Mayor and the different department heads as one of the activities of the boy scout in the province.### (PIA SoLeyte/esg)
Meanwhile, Maasin City will also be a CROWN awardee for its nutrition program during the October 25 awarding rites, with P 250,000.00 cash incentive, said Dr. Francilisa Tan, Head of City Health Unit I.
The members of the City Nutrition Committee, along with Mayor Maloney Samaco, will be the ones to receive the citation and the financial reward, said Dr. Tan. (PIA-Southern Leyte/bong)
