The Valenzuela City government on Monday, Feb. 7, started the distribution of nutribun packs, milk and hygiene kits to the 11,108 undernourished and severely undernourished students in the city as part of its school-based feeding program (SBFP).
A total of 3,816 Kindergarten to Grade 6 students from different schools received the gifts on Monday at the Malinta Elementary School. The gifts were handed to their parents.
The local government said it aims to finish the distribution of the items to the rest of the beneficiaries in different baranggays in 60 days.

The SBFP was launched by the city in October 2021 to help the city’s undernourished and severely undernourished students.
