Cagayan de Oro — Over 132,500 children here are being fed by the Department of the Social Welfare and Development through its Supplemental Feeding Program (SFP).

SFP is the government’s response to hunger and malnutrition in the country by providing hot meals to children enrolled in day care centers.

In coordination with local government units, the DSWD implements the program by also teaching parents on proper menu and food preparation, and guiding the children on proper table etiquettes, including washing of hands before taking meals.

SFP is done with a duration of 120 days per day care center.
