4. Data shows that the city’s malnutrition
rate for the last 5 years is declining. This

programs/interventions as spelled out in
the MTPPAN(Medium-Term Philippine
Plan of Action on Nutrition)which is the
country’s response to malnutrition.

5. It is also a vital contribution of the
Millenium Development Goals by

foods through small animal dispersal.

Workers) are one of those who monitor the said
