The activity with the theme, Sa PPAN: Sama-sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat was held on August 9,2024 at Ebbes Elementary School.

The program started with a series of health talks on various nutrition-related topics including the importance of proper diet, physical exercise, and disease prevention. It was attended by different stakeholders who came together to share their knowledge and experiences on nutrition and healthy living. The event also featured poster making contest related to the year’s theme, whereby to recognize the efforts of participants of the said contest, the BLGU awarded cash prizes to the winners.
