Good nutrition is a prime important in the attainment of normal growth and development in the maintenance of health throughout life. Early investment in children’s health and nutrition education will last the foundation for future growth and development of the whole nation.
PIDS or Philippine Institute for Development Studies (2014) stated that the Department of Education's (DepEd) School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) is a "well-managed" program according to a study recently released by state think- tank Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS). However, authors of the study have also identified vital areas that require improvement. Albert and his co- researchers reviewed the conduct of the SBFP in eight schools across the country during school year 2013-2014. They analyzed the results against the program's objectives: (1) that 70 percent of the beneficiaries must have been rehabilitated at the end of the 100-120 day feeding program, (2) that 85-100 percent of the beneficiaries attend school, and (3) that there is observable improvement in health, nutrition values, and behavior.
