Dear Mam,

Greetings of Peace and Love of the Lord!

Presidential Decree 491 in 1974 declared that Nutrition Month shall be held every July to
create greater awareness on the importance of nutrition among Filipinos. The law mandates
the National Nutrition Council (NNC) to coordinate and lead the nationwide campaign. This
year’s Nutrition month Theme “New normal na nutrisyon, sama-samang gawan ng
solusyon!” is celebrated to:
1. Raise awareness on the impact of stunting and evidence-based solutions among
families and communities leading to change in behaviors to prevent stunting;
2. Stimulate national and local (including communities) discourse on stunting to
understand its causes and the multi-sectoral solutions for increased investments in
interventions; and
3. Generate concrete commitment among various stakeholders to scale-up nutrition
actions.

Concerning this, may we request your good office to allow your Day Care Teachers to
participate in the scheduled lecture on on August 01, 2022, from eight (9) in the morning
up to twelve (12)in the afternoon?

Thank you and God bless Us All!

Sincerely,

JOHN DALTON M. VELASCO, RM, RN
