Q Webby for Website

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) launched and held the maiden awarding ceremony for the Q-Webby Awards on the third Management Conference on 02 October 2020. Q-Webby Awards is the periodic counterpart of the Annual Webby Awards.

Since the execution of the Annual Webby Awards in 2014, it was noted that several critical performance indicators were not singularly captured and recognized. Initial efforts to co-share responsibility in the management of the NNC Website demonstrated notable performances of web team members and regional publishers that warranted recognition. Periodical recognition of regional offices’ performance in the management of their respective webpages and social media accounts challenges creativity and may increase their chances of being recognized in annual Webby Awards.  Thus, the conduct of a quarterly Special Webby Awards, referred to as the NNC-Q Webby Awards.

Headed by Executive Director Dr. Azucena M. Dayanghirang, the management of the National Nutrition Council (NNC) gathered virtually for the 3rd Quarterly Management Conference (ManCon), s.2020 on 28-29 September and 2 October 2020. Along with Executive Director Dayanghirang, the management is composed of the 17 Regional Nutrition Program Coordinators (RNPCs) and 5 Division Chiefs of the NNC central office (CO).

It has been a usual practice for the Division Chiefs of the NNC CO to present updates, accomplishments, and concerns of their divisions. However, considering that we are facing challenges brought about by COVID-19 and that the regional offices (ROs)are directly acting or coordinating at the regional level to address these, RNPCs were requested to report instead. Included in their presentations were the following: 1) accomplishments as of 15 September;    2) good news from the ROs such as factors that contributed to the implementation of planned activities even with COVID-19 as well as good practices on COVID response that can be replicated in other regions; 3) challenges that affected the implementation of planned activities; and 4) corrective measures to ensure that the challenges encountered are addressed.

BF Month2020 streamerIn observance of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, the Department of Health (DOH), World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) jointly appeal to the public to protect, promote, and support the practice of exclusive breastfeeding of infants from birth up to six months, and continued with complementary feeding onwards with breastfeeding being the most healthy, efficient, and environmentally-sustainable action of mothers for their children.

This year’s theme, “I-BIDA ang Pagpapasuso Tungo sa Wais at Malusog na Pamayanan!”, reinforces the importance of breastfeeding now, more than ever, because of the COVID-19 pandemic which poses a challenge to infant feeding. We enjoin everyone to ensure that Filipino infants will have proper and adequate nutrition to improve their resilience against the disease and minimize the long-term effects of malnutrition, ultimately meeting the country’s commitment to sustainable development.
