MISS PITOGO ISLANDS 2015 1ST FEEDING PROGRAM

A famine is a widespread scarcity of food, caused by many factors including crop failure, population unbalance, or government policies. This phenomenon is usually accompanied or followed by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality.

Malnutrition on the other hand is a broad term which refers to both undernutrition and overnutrition. Individuals are malnourished or suffer from undernurition if their diet does not provide them enough calories for maintenance and growth or they cannot fully absorb the food they eat due to illness.

In helping the community avoid the two things mentioned above, the Miss Pitogo Islands organization headed by its Chairman Mr. Edrian Abad and the reigning Miss Pitogo Islands 2015 Roxan Abad had just joined forces in materializing their first feeding program yesterday September 8, 2015, at 10:00 o’clock in the morning.

“One of my duties as the reigning Miss Pitogo Islands 2015 is to help the children and inspire them to go to school and that is why we have come up with this program that we are now having and I hope we will always continue”, Roxan Abad, the reigning Miss Pitogo Islands 2015 said.

The feeding program took place in San Jose Elementary School particularly in the grade one class. Mrs. Dolorosa Cadelena, the adviser of the class extended her deepest gratitude for the Miss Pitogo Islands Organization with their remarkable project.

 “This feeding program is really a move to enlighten the minds of the people especially the politicians here in CPG that they should always think of their constituents and help them especially the children”, Mrs. Cadelena added.

Barangay San Jose is, like many other barangays of CPG composes of people/families having an inadequate to average income. The main livelihood of the barangay is farming and as of the writing of this post, the people of the barangay has not all yet planted their main crop which is rice. One also needs to wait for more than three months before he can harvest the crop.

The organization wanted to become relevant to the lives of people these days and having this move is their first step.

The feeding program of the Miss Pitogo Islands Organization will not stop right here. The organization is now planning for their second feeding program and the venue will be known soon.
