The Valencia City Nutrition Committee (CNC), through the City Nutrition and Human Physical Development Division (CNHPDD), intensified its efforts to strengthen maternal and child nutrition services through a three-day roll-out training on Idol Ko si Nanay held on August 25–27, 2026, at the CAP Building, Valencia City.

The training brought together nutrition workers and partner personnel to enhance their knowledge and skills in implementing and facilitating the Idol Ko si Nanay Learning Sessions. The activity focused on Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) and the First 1,000 Days, covering maternal and child nutrition, newborn and infant care, early childhood learning, child protection, and child rights.

The activity formally opened with the Opening Remarks delivered by Ms. Helen Bernal, Executive Assistant, representing City Mayor and CNC Chairperson Amie G. Galario. This was followed by a leveling of expectations and a pre-test facilitated by CNPC Cheryl Jane Hernandez, allowing participants to identify their expectations and assess their baseline knowledge before the training sessions.

The first day introduced participants to ECCD in the First 1,000 Days, including its basic concepts, components, legal mandates, and the program framework. Hazel P. Dondonayos, RND, MGA, Nutrition Officer IV/City Nutrition Action Officer, also provided an overview of how to conduct the Idol Ko si Nanay Learning Sessions, highlighting the purpose, structure, and facilitation approach of the program.

The succeeding sessions covered the different stages of the First 1,000 Days. Julie Ann C. Brigoli, RND, LPT, Nutrition Officer II/City Nutrition Program Coordinator, discussed ECCD and the First 1,000 Days, child rights, and pre-conception care, emphasizing the importance of preparing women and families for a healthy pregnancy.

Topics on pregnancy were discussed by Genelyn A. Esquillo, RND, Nutritionist-Dietitian II of the Nutritionist-Dietitian Deployment Program (NDDP), Department of Health, covering maternal care and nutrition, as well as fetal growth and development. Meanwhile, Guia Mae A. Rubio, RND, City Nutrition Program Coordinator, discussed appropriate care and nutrition for lactating women.

On the second day, participants revisited the previous sessions before proceeding to topics on newborn and infant care. CNPC Rubio discussed essential newborn care, newborn feeding, expressing breastmilk, and cup feeding. Ms. Maureen Chyn F. Donato, RND, Technical Assistant I of the Department of Education, facilitated sessions on complementary feeding, preparing complementary foods, and responsive feeding.

The training also highlighted the importance of preventive health services. Esquillo discussed immunization, nutrition interventions, and other health services, emphasizing their role in protecting the health and development of young children.

Sessions on young child care were led by Luanne O. Cruz, RND, City Nutrition Program Coordinator, who discussed growth monitoring, caring for sick children, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Donato also discussed developmental milestones, helping participants recognize the expected developmental progress of young children.

The third and final day focused on early childhood learning, child protection, and preparation for the implementation of the Idol Ko si Nanay Learning Sessions. Donato continued the discussion on early childhood learning, including early childhood screening and psychosocial stimulation, while Cruz discussed preventing child injuries, child maltreatment, and abuse.

The training culminated with a Support Activities and Planning Session led by Dondonayos, where participants were guided in developing strategies for the effective implementation and roll-out of the Idol Ko si Nanay Learning Sessions in their respective areas.

A post-test was subsequently administered to assess the knowledge gained throughout the three-day training. The activity concluded with a closing program featuring a response from the participants, awarding of certificates, and a closing message from Dondonayos.

The three-day training provided nutrition workers with comprehensive knowledge and practical guidance covering the continuum of care from pre-conception and pregnancy to newborn, infancy, and early childhood. It also strengthened their capacity to facilitate the Idol Ko si Nanay Learning Sessions and provide mothers, caregivers, and families with appropriate information on nutrition, health, caregiving, early childhood development, and child protection.

Through continued capacity-building initiatives, the Valencia City Nutrition Committee and CNHPDD aim to strengthen the delivery of nutrition and early childhood interventions and contribute to better health, nutrition, development, and protection outcomes for children and families in Valencia City.
