THE Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is doing research to develop healthy food and drinks in a bid to promote health awareness among Filipinos.
“The DOST has been continuously undertaking scientific research to develop nutritious food and drinks, which can be integrated into the government’s feeding program,” President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said during his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday.
The President made the remarks while discussing the administration’s efforts to address malnutrition and ensure the health and nutrition of children zero to two years old from the poorest Filipino families.
According to the President, the government has proposed in the 2025 budget a new grant, under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to support the government’s effort to address malnutrition under the President’s “Walang Gutom” program.
