THE Ilocos regional health office presented the Regional Pinggang Pinoy Award to the municipality of Labrador for winning the “Pinggang Pinoy Panalo: PaMEALyang Masagana, Pagkain ay Masustansya” contest conducted from July 29 to August 4, 2022.

The Labrador local government entered the Vallejos Family from Barangay Uyong, as an entry to the contest showcasing its basic food preparations that included quality, safe preparations from cleaning of preparation equipment to separation of ingredients to ensure that foods are cooked to the right temperature, and properly stored.

DOH Regional Director Paula Paz Sydiongco congratulated the local governments’ efforts in promoting and encouraging families in the communities to prepare healthy meals. “Eating healthy meals is important in preventing obesity and non-communicable diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases”.

“The ‘Pinggang Pinoy’ contest aims to contribute to these nutritional deficiencies through the promotion of healthy eating habits and encouraging families to prepare daily eating meals beneficial to the health of every member of the family,” Sydiongco added. (DOH)
