The poorest island in the Philippines is rich in natural resources, producing 40% of the country's food needs.
With martial law declared in Mindanao, the 24 million people living in the Philippines' southern island face threats to their livelihood – a difficult situation for a region long battling with security threats, and whose people are some of the poorest in the country.

Do you recall the last time you skipped a meal or two? How did you feel? Do you get irritable? Did it become more difficult to focus on work or school?
If occasional hunger affects you negatively, imagine what it’s like for those who experience it every day.

The proposed National School Feeding Program bill aims to provide free and sustainable feeding programs in all public schools across the country.
Feeding programs are common in public schools where malnourished students are beneficiaries. However, these programs last only for a few months due to financial constraints.

A panel of experts and advocates will discuss hunger and malnutrition in the PH.

The Barangay Aquaponics project aims to promote an agricultural technique called aquaponics, which combines conventional aquaculture – raising aquatic animals in tanks – with hydroponics, or cultivating plants in water.

It is unrealistic for public officials to expect Filipinos to expand their diet when they have nothing else – except government-supplied rice – to begin with.

The reality of malnutrition among children
july 13, 2017 - with video
The issue of hunger and malnutrition is real, but it can still be solved in this lifetime.

A research specialist from the Food and Nutrition Research Institute says that out of the 42,036 barangays in the country, about 78% have at least one undernourished child

How do you raise tough, confident kids who know how to face the world?
A world fueled by gadgets and social media creates an ever-changing, competitive environment, especially for children.
They're exposed to technology at a young age, and it increases the pressure for them – and you – to excel.

Want to make your weekends or summer break more meaningful? Try volunteering at these places around the Philippines.

Senate minority leader Ralph Recto also wants to increase the per meal budget of the government's feeding programs to P30

'We are at a crossroads where decision and actions must be made that will have an impact on our children and the children of the future,' says Health Secretary Paulyn Ubial.

The proposed Zero Food Waste Act seeks to improve the state of food security in the Philippines

“Saan tayo kakain? [Where are we eating?]”
We ask this question everyday. Sometimes during breakfast, most of the time during lunch at work, and often during dinner dates with our friends or significant other.
Asking more questions helps us decide: “Is this what I’m craving for? Does this restaurant have good reviews? Is the food any good? Is it affordable?”

The latest Food Consumption Survey reveals that among the top 5 are rice, salt, cooking oil, coffee, and sugar.

The agriculture sector accounts for the second biggest share of the country's greenhouse gas emissions, according to latest data. But addressing the problem is easier said than done

No parents wish to ever see their child hungry; unfortunately, this remains a daily reality for many Filipino families.

Since MRP is relatively new, its coverage is still limited. Until then, should another baby cry out of hunger?

Malnutrition and hunger among Filipinos especially children should be the centerpiece of electoral campaigns for 2016

Smoke fills the kitchen of Norberto Lucion’s eatery. He’s still busy preparing the house specialty, but a few people have asked for his kaldereta.
Norberto is peeling the meat off about a dozen buckets of chicken. They’re part Jollibee chicken joy and part KFC. He says he gets them from a regular supplier.

The buckets of chicken come from a “pagpagan,” a place in the dumpsite of Happyland, where recyclable materials are separated from biodegradables. Plastic spoons and forks, drinking cups, and food cartons, end up being sold at a junk shop. Some of the food in the trash may also end up being “recycled.”
Leftovers from fast food chains are called pagpag, from the Filipino word that means, “to shake off.” Dirt is literally shaken off from food found in dumpsters. They are eaten again. They are also sold. Norberto buys them for P20 (US$0.45) per bucket

Heirloom rice varieties go beyond the usual type of rice we see on our dinner tables. They represent the culture of the Cordilleras and have become the lifeblood of their farming tradition.
According to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), heirloom rice varieties are more flavorful, aromatic, and have exceptional nutritional value when cooked.
The heirloom rice varieties, the product of the terraces, are considered to be an important fixture in the lives of farmers in several areas in CAR.
Staying true to the name, these varieties of rice are passed from generation to generation and are grown by families in their small ancestral lands.

Buying more expensive commercial rice variants may not always be the best option, as experts insist that commercial rice and those from the National Food Authority (NFA) are technically the same.

If there is one dish that really deserves to be in every Filipino Easter fiesta, it must be the Lumpiang Ubod (Coconut Spring Rolls). The main ingredient is taken from coconut shoots, which lends itself to the easter theme of new life and freshness. The following recipe that I will share here is not original to me, however, be rest assured that I tried to incorporate my own ideas like including buko (young coconut) as one of the main ingredient, and using rice as starch for the spring roll wrapper.

Coconut water is good for people with kidney problems. One Filipino doctor claimed: “two glasses of fresh buko juice every day can reduce one’s chance of having kidney or ureter stones.”

”According to an old legend, coconut is God’s gift to the lazy man. “He sleeps in the shade of the tree, is awakened when a nut falls, drinks the milk, and eat some of the meat. He then feeds the rest of the meat to the chickens and cattle, which produce eggs and milk and meat, respectively. The leaves provide thatch for the roof and walls of his coconut hut, and are also woven into hats, baskets and mats.”

For those who don't know, a boodle fight, as defined by Captain A's, means "eating combat" or "attack the food." It is an eating tradition involving the members of the Philippine Military Academy where everyone, regardless of age and rank, gathers around a very long table to share a meal. As a symbol of fraternity and equality, they dig into the food spread over banana leaves or old newspapers with their bare hands; there are no plates or eating utensils. Boodle fights are usually done in celebration of special occasions or successful events. Aug 7, 2012
