HIMSoG-8 to boost

TACLOBAN CITY –
Help the National Nutrition Council Region 8 (NNC-8) boost its
webpage by contributing more nutrition-related articles, feature
stories and pictures, net-engaging, liking, sharing and tagging, and
inviting researchers to hunt nutrition information on the webpage.
This was the consensus of
the Harmonized Initiatives of Media for the Spread of Good Nutrition
in Region 8 (HIMSoG-8), a NNC-8 media-group partner, after a brief
Social Media Enhancement Workshop conducted during its 1st quarter
meeting held at NNC-8 office on February 22, 2019.
Instead of launching its
own social-media engagement on “Winning the 2019 Election in
Nutrition through SocMed” as previously planned, workshop resource
speaker and HIMSoG-8 member Sarwell Meniano suggested to strengthen
in its place the already existing NNC-8 webpage.
Niño Archie S. Labordo,
NNC-8 Nutrition Officer III, said while in the past years the NNC-8
webpage was fifth from the bottom – as compared to similar webpages
of nutrition offices of other regions, last year (2018) Eastern
Visayas was already in the middle of the hierarchy based on internet
analytics, with Region 7 (Cebu) and Regions 1 and 2 on the lead.
“There is a big change to
catch up with them, to date if there is a most improved webpage it
is NNC Region 8,” Labordo said, as he invited everybody to actively
contribute accurate and relevant articles.
In this connection the
nutrition regional office here provided the HIMSoG-8 membership with
the latest Operation Timbang Plus 2018 results of 0-59 and 0-71
month old children per municipality, city, and province in Eastern
Visayas categorized weight for age, height for age, weight for
length/height and summary, and probable topics/subjects to write
which are national-focus of the month, for example for March –
Rabies Awareness Month, International Women’s Month, International
Women’s Day, and World TB Day that could be given slant related with
nutrition.
