TRUE to her commitment in the last election, Vice Mayor Belen Fernandez again launched her citywide breakfast feeding program targeting pupils from Grades 1 to IV in all public elementary schools in Dagupan.
More than 1,500 pupils were fed during the launching at the Carael and Calmay Elementary Schools and at the Juan P. Guadiz Elementary School in Barangay Poblacion Oeste last July 12.
This was followed the next day at the Bonuan Boquig Elementary School and at the Pantal Elementary School, benefitting another 1,800 pupils.
About 35,000 pupils are targeted as beneficiaries this year.
The children were served oatmeal mixed with chocolate and milk to boost the children’s breakfast meals at home. Students were also given toothpaste and soap for personal hygiene.
Fernandez said the feeding program menu will soon include noodles, mixed with nutritious malunggay.
After the initial feeding, there will be three more feeding days for each school, to be scheduled by the teachers using supplies of oats, chocolate and milk that were turned over by Fernandez.
The vice mayor is undertaking the project with the help of some members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod.–LM
