00:00First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos led the launch of an activity in Guimaras

00:06that was held during the first 1,000 days of the children.

00:10Let's find out in the Central News of Kenneth Paciente Live.

00:19Alan, First Lady Luis Araneta Marcos led a program here in Guimaras.

00:26To ensure the well-being of the children, the First Lady led the launch of the

00:31Guimaras Children's First 1,000 Days Project.

00:35This is a project that focuses on the children from their birth

00:39until they reach the age of two.

00:42Under the program, the government agencies will ensure

00:47that the needs of pregnant women who were chosen as beneficiaries will be met.

00:52Supplemental feeding will also be provided to pregnant women.

00:55Monitoring will also be done so that they can give birth to their children.

01:00This is a step, Alan, to ensure that these children will be healthy

01:04and to avoid stunting or malnutrition.

01:07This is also the case for the underdevelopment of the children's brains.

01:11This is also a goal of the government and NGOs

01:14to fight malnutrition in the country.

01:18Alan, TILG Secretary Ben Herr-Avalos also said in the program earlier

01:23that he already issued a directive to the LGUs

01:27to implement the 1,000 Day Project in local governments in the country.

01:33And that is the latest from Guimaras.

01:35Back to you, Alan.

01:37Thank you very much, Kenneth Paciente.
