6.2.2.3 mandates the BNC to
formulate, revise/update the
barangay nutrition action plan.
Malnutrition is a multi-faceted
problem requiring a multi-sectoral
mix of interventions towards its
sustained reduction. The BNAP,
developed by the BHW and BNS
through participatory engagement
with the community, embodies the
priority actions to be carried out by
the barangay. It details the various
nutrition and nutrition-related
activities as well as measurable
targets.
Malnutrition refers to the
deficiencies, excesses, or
imbalances in an individual's
energy and/or nutrient intake. This
includes stunting (low height for
age), wasting (low weight for
height), underweight (low weight for
age), micronutrient deficiencies or
insufficiency and overweight
(obesity).
Operation Timbang (OPT) Plus is
the annual weighing and height
measurement of all preschoolers 0-
59 months old or below five years
old in a community to identify and
locate the malnourished children.
Data generated through OPT Plus
are used for local nutrition action
planning, particularly in quantifying
the number of malnourished and

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
(WASH)
Anchored on the National
Sustainable Sanitation Plan
(NSSP), the Department of Health
(DOH) has continuously promoted
the Zero Open Defecation Program
(ZODP). Open defecation is defined
as the practice of passing feces
outside a latrine or toilet, or in a
natural environment (open field,
body of water, among others) and
leaving the fecal matter exposed.
Having proper sanitation largely
affects the health, nutrition,
development, and safety of Filipino
children as poor sanitation is linked
to health and environmental issues.
Repeated diarrhea and other
infections in the gut affect children’s
capacity to absorb the nutrients
from the food they eat which
contributes to stunting and
malnutrition while the contamination
of bodies of water could lead to the
spread of diseases like polio.
Moreover, the act of defecating in
open spaces also puts children and

defecation practices, ensuring the
use of a sanitary toilet, frequent and

Observance of the National
Children’s Month (NCM)
RA 10661

declares November of
every year as National Children’s
Month. It encourages LGUs to
observe the NCM celebration.
The Council for the Welfare of
Children (CWC), along with

agencies, recommends the
conduct of the Children’s
Congress during the celebration
as a venue where all children can
(i) voice out and deliberate on
their issues and concerns, (ii)
develop and advocate for a
children’s agenda for
consideration of the local
legislative body and other local
officials, and (iii) elect among
themselves the child
representative who will seek
support for the delivery of child-
focused interventions on their
behalf. This is reflected as one of
the recommended activities under
Section 4 of the DILG MC 2024-
