00:27The program aims to fight malnutrition in public schools
00:30and to provide the public with good news and information
00:34about the programs implemented by the government.

00:47toho, banana, boiled egg, and water.

00:53from their private partner.
00:55PhilHealth also participated in the activity
00:57for those who wanted to become a member
00:59but were not able to obtain their PhilHealth ID.
01:02According to Secretary Larry Gadon,
01:04many children and organizations
01:08were able to join the BBM program of OPAPA.
01:11One of the reasons why we initiated the BBM BATANG MALUSOG
01:17is to serve as an inspiration to our fellow citizens
01:21who have the ability to join civic organizations
01:23so that they can adapt the program that we are implementing.
01:28We are not asking for money.
01:31These are items, food, milk, water,
01:35which are the nutritious items that they provide.
01:39OPAPA will visit many other places in the country
01:42in the coming months.
01:43For the Civic Organization of Fraternal Order of Eagles,
01:47which is one of OPAPA's bodies,
01:49addressing the problem of malnutrition
01:51is one of their advocacy.
01:53The reason for our poverty in the Philippines
01:57is because of malnutrition and education.
02:00That is why we chose the Civic Organization of Fraternal Order of Eagles
02:04as our advocacy project
02:07to help our country
02:10and all the Filipinos in our country.
02:13The leadership of Oranbo Elementary School
02:16thanked OPAPA for their first visit this year.
02:19We are so happy that we were chosen.
02:23We were informed that we are the first beneficiaries for this year.
02:29And this is of course...
02:38...the malnutrition of children.
02:40A healthy and full child is also one of the priority projects
02:43of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
