00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is targeting some government agencies

00:05to fight malnutrition in the country.

00:08This is after a study found that malnourished children are three times more likely to get malnourished.

00:13This is the story of Clayzel Pardilla.

00:17It's hard to spend 5 Pesos per month on Hanilin after she stopped working.

00:25She can't afford to buy vitamins, she can't even afford to get her mother's vaccine.

00:31The vitamins that I take are free from my previous job.

00:37My husband earns money for his daily needs.

00:43Jura May is trying to provide enough food and vitamins for her 6-month pregnant husband.

00:51He doesn't want his wife to get malnourished just like their eldest son who got sick.

00:58I got sick because I didn't have enough vitamins.

01:01That's why now...

01:02That's why I'm trying to sell my children.

01:06You really need to prioritize.

01:07Why are you trying so hard to get enough vitamins and milk?

01:13It's just for the baby.

01:15President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and government agencies

01:19are working together to fight malnutrition.

01:26He ordered to provide enough nutrition for the first 1,000 days of the child

01:31from the time she was born until the 24th month of the child.

01:36The emphasis should be on the first 1,000 days which involves a pregnant mother.

01:42The fetus is inside the uterus.

01:46They'll be given micronutrients, mainly iron, folic acid,

01:52and then the tetanus and diphtheria vaccine.

01:56And then when she gives birth,

01:58she should be given a mandatory initiation of breastfeeding.

02:03According to the health department, this is important.

02:06It was found out in a study that 3 out of every 10 children

02:10aged 5 years and below are malnourished

02:13who were born with malnutrition in the first 1,000 days.

02:17The problem is not the baby.

02:18The problem is the low cognitive ability.

02:21The brain is weak because the brain development happens in the first 1,000 days.

02:26President Marcos ordered the National Nutrition Council

02:30to prioritize programs that will ensure the health and well-being of the children,

02:36including free but nutritious food, vitamins, vaccines, and regular check-ups.

02:42Starting in 2026, the budget will make a convergence

02:46in focusing on the proper nutrition of the children.

02:49This means that the funds of various government agencies will be pooled

02:54for one purpose.

02:56Currently, the budget of the health department is around Php 0.5 billion

03:00for the first 1,000 days of the children.

03:03This is expected to be increased when joint action is taken

03:07on malnutrition.

03:09Some places that have a high malnutrition rate are in Pancina,

03:14such as Pangasinan, Isabela, Northern Summer,

03:18Bangsamoro, and other provinces.

03:20Currently, the Department of Social Welfare and Development

03:26is distributing food stamps to the poorest Filipinos.

03:29Each family will receive Php 3,000 worth of food stamps

03:34that they can buy to eat.

03:36Malnutrition is far from the poverty of the poor Filipinos.

03:41Our target this year is to onboard and serve 300,000 household beneficiaries.

03:48We are close to achieving this.

03:50Partner, we have already onboarded 260,000 as of today.
