The Municipality of Numancia was awarded the Most Outstanding Municipality in Region VI in the implementation of the Plan of Action for Nutrition. Along with this award is the proclamation of Numancia as the Green Banner awardee being the 1st place in the 2008 Regional Nutrition Evaluation. The two prestigious awards are received by Mayor Elverita T. Templo-nuevo and Vice Mayor Evangeline M. Ibabao together with the Numancia Municipal Nutrition Action Officer, Mrs. Amor T. Magdaluyo, SB member Arcel S. Tabuena, Liga President Favelonia S. Constantino and the members of the Numancia Municipal Nutrition Committee (NMNC), Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS), and Punong Barangays during the Nutrition Congress and Awarding Ceremony at Iloilo Grand Hotel, Iloilo City on October 15, 2008.
As the provincial winner and representative of Aklan, Ms. Nona B. Tad-y, Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator and party evaluated the Municipality on August 12, 2008. Mayor Templonuevo confirmed the participation to the said contest despite the extensive damage suffered by the town from the devastation of Typhoon Frank on June 21, 2008. The evaluators were amazed with the intact and complete records of the MNC and BNCs and the perfect result in Operation Timbang of preschoolers which received plausible feedbacks from them.
With the recognitions received, LGU Numancia is highly spirited to intensify its program on Nutrition and maintain its title in the said contest. /MP
