A group of women led by this town's first lady, Arsenia Piezas, has organized a non-government organization called Pagtinabangay sa Kauswagan sa Tubigon (PKT), in an effort to help the local government unit solve its malnutrition problems.
PKT mainly aims to help eliminate malnutrition incidence among schoolchildren for them to become competitive, physically and mentally, as they brace themselves for challenges in school- -from pre-school to the elementary level.
Among the monthly and weekly activities that PKT has initiated include feeding of pre-school and elementary pupils.
The feeding activity is done in coordination with village heads.
The organization hopes to sustain the feeding program until yearend, and in addition to the voluntary contribution from its members, PKT plans to come up with fund-raising activities to sustain the program and achieve its objective of raising physically and mentally strong and competitive children at the elementary level.
This is to make them competitive when they enter the secondary level of education. (Ghaya Astronomo-Castillo-MPIO designate)
