Conduct of PNC Quarterly Meetings:
Inasmuch as the NAO is tasked primarily to coordinate
the implementation of the PPAN, the preparation of the plan
was accomplished in close coordination with the members of
the Provincial Nutrition Committee and this is done during the
last quarter of the preceding year. The NAO and the PNC assess
the progress of nutrition program implementation during the
quarterly meetings with the PNC members scheduled every first
Friday of the second month of the quarter. Quarterly
accomplishment reports from the different PNC-member
agencies are submitted during the meeting for review and the
same are consolidated by the NAO for submission to the NNC-
ROI. For 2011, NAO was able to accomplish the targeted
quarterly meeting with the PNC. Likewise, the targeted number of programs reviewed was
met. Through the quarterly meetings, consultation and dialogues relative to the
implementation of the PPAN were made possible.
Technical assistance to MNAOs:
Another function of the NAO is to supervise and assist the Municipal Nutrition Action
Officers (MNAOs) in Ilocos Norte in their activities as stipulated in their Municipal Plan of

reviewed is 19 (90.48%) and number of municipal accomplishment reports collected by the
NAO is 21 which is at 100% accomplishment.
Conduct of Provincial MELLPI:
The NAO, together with the Technical Working Group of the PNC, conducts an annual
monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the MPAN using the MELLPI
(Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Plan Implementation) Guidelines as its regular
function. This is conducted in all municipalities in Ilocos Norte including Barangay Nutrition
Scholars representing 10% of the total number of barangays in the municipality. For 2011, in
terms of the number of municipalities evaluated, all the targeted 21 municipalities were
evaluated. The Provincial MELLPI was conducted from April 27, 2011 to May 23, 2011.
In this evaluation, Top Five Best Performing municipalities and Barangay Nutrition
Scholars were identified based on the ratings. Awardees were given cash awards and
ANNUAL STATE OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE REPORT 2011
certificates during the Nutrition Month culminating program. This awarding program
provides inspiration and motivation to the nutrition program implementers to enhance their
performances in decreasing the prevalence of malnutrition in their respective communities
through effective program implementation.

Nutrition Month Celebration:
The Nutrition Month (July) celebration is also initiated and coordinated by the NAO.
This is an annual activity that creates awareness among the people on the significance of
proper nutrition in health and in development as provided under Presidential Decree 491.
During the 2011 celebration, all the 21 municipalities targeted, participated which accounts
for 100 accomplishment. In terms of the number of agencies who participated in the
celebration, all the 18 members of the PNC were able to participate. The program was held

Guest Speaker represented by the Provincial Administrator, Atty. Windell Chua. The
Nutrition Program Coordinator of the National Nutrition Council, Ms. Victoria Manez, also
graced the occasion. Hanging of streamers bearing the 2010 Theme: “Isulong ang
Breastfeeding-Tama, Sapat at Eksklusibo” was implemented in all municipalities and in
different agencies in the province.
The celebration was highlighted by a Breastfeeding Forum and the launching of the
“One Nutrition, One Nation Movement.” The culminating activity was the usual awarding
ceremony to recognize the outstanding performance of municipalities and BNSs in the
implementation of the MPAN and the BPAN towards the reduction of the prevalence of
malnutrition. Other activities were cookfests, medical mission, jingle and poster making

consolidation, analyses and encoding of health and nutrition data, particularly data on
Operation Timbang (OPT) for Preschoolers, & School Children per barangay and per
municipality; Socioeconomic data per municipality; and the MPAN with the corresponding
quarterly accomplishment reports per municipality for CY 2011. The Nutrition Databank also
includes an updated PPAN. The PPAN is an annual plan of action for nutrition of the province
that includes the identified programs and activities from the different agencies that are
members of the PNC to address the problem of malnutrition. These programs were
identified based on the results of the analysis of the OPT data of all preschoolers and
schoolchildren and the socio-economic status of their families that were collected and
consolidated from CY 2009 to CY 2010. For Year 2011, the percent accomplishment for the
updated MPAN is 90.48% and for PPAN, 100%. Data gathering is continuous and the latest
consolidation sums up to the following summaries of the changes in Nutritional Status of all
Preschoolers in Ilocos Norte from CY 2005- CY 2011, and all School Children in Ilocos Norte

Conduct training for Nutrition Program Implementers:
The implementation of the nutrition program requires workers who are
knowledgeable in nutrition program management. They also need capability enhancement
trainings to enhance their knowledge and skills in nutrition. One of the functions of the NAO
is to conduct relevant training for nutrition program implementers. In 2011, the NAO
coordinated the participation to the Nutrition Action Officers’ Regional Convention by all
nutrition program implementers such as MNAOs, BNSs and PNC members. For the BNS, the
NAO and the Municipal Nutrition Committees of Bangui, Badoc and Piddig jointly conducted
Basic Training Course for their Barangay Nutrition Scholars. The targets for the training of
BNSs were achieved with 100% accomplishment. For the NAOs, no training was conducted.
