SCHOOL - BASED FEEDING PROGRAM

DepEd Schools Division Office of Bulacan

Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in
food (e.g. phytonutrients, anthocyanins, tannins, etc.) in relation to maintenance, growth,
reproduction, health and disease of an organism. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition).
Realizing the significance of nutrition, the Schools Division Office of Bulacan will conduct
the School Based Feeding Program for the School Year 2015 2016. School feeding
program is considered to be a sound investment in Education. There is an evidence that
school feeding program increase school enrolment (Ahmed 2004; Gelli, Meir and Espejo
2007), cognition (Whaley et. al 2003; Kristjansson et al, 2007) and educational achievement
(Tan, Lane, and Lassible 1999; Ahmed 2004; Adelman et al, 2008), particularly if supported
by complementary actions such as deworming and micronutrient fortification or
supplementation (Simeon, Grantham-McGregor, and Wong 1995; Van Stuijenberg et al.
1999).
For this school year, this Office will continue to implement the DepEd funded SBFP in
accordance with DepEd Order No. 33 and 34, s. 2015. This will cover 6,920 (six thousand
nine hundred twenty) severely wasted learners in all 33 (thirty three districts).
