Gov. Daisy Avance Fuentes

Koronadal City — The South Cotabato government led by Governor Daisy Avance Fuentes is considering a new food relief program for the province to ease the growing cases of hunger and malnutrition.

The said food relief program dubbed Hunger Alleviation on Program would mostly benefit the tribal communities in far flung areas of the province which aims to provide alternative food sources for poor tribal families and at the same time open up sustainable livelihood opportunities for them.

The Provincial Nutrition Office would come up with the recommended set of basic food requirements based on the recommended daily allowance to ensure that target families would get regular healthy meals.

Gov. Fuentes said the goal of the provincial government is essentially to alleviate the poor condition of the indigenous people’s communities that are usually the ones who are suffering most during this time of crisis.

The Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office shall spearhead the program which will adopt a two-pronged approach that will have a strong bias on the integration of convergence support services from stakeholders. (PIA 12)
