What seems like an impossible feat today can be overcome once you start taking steps toward change. This inclination proved true as GNPower Dinginin Ltd. Co. (GNPD) sponsored the Mariveles Nutrition Summit 2023, held last September 15, 2023 at Romalaine’s Seafood Restaurant and Leisure Park, Mariveles, Bataan. 

Gathering representatives and partners from the Provincial and Municipal Health offices and private sponsors, the summit aimed to provide a platform for various organizations to collaborate and reinforce the goal to eradicate malnutrition in Mariveles by 2023. 

The summit, initiated by the Municipal Health Office, brought to light the provincial data on nutrition, which shows Mariveles’ current data as presented by Alson Jun Domingo of Provincial Health Office. These data inspired the health programs, as laid out by Governor Jose Enrique Garcia III, including the PhilHealth Konsulta Primary Care Provider Network, Hataw Takbo Bataan, and Healthy Paaralan Program, which was recently launched in Mariveles as well. 
The highlight of the event was the ceremonial signing of the Mariveles Municipal Nutrition Ordinance, led by Mayor AJ Concepcion. The Mariveles Nutrition Ordinance “Malusog na Pamilyang Mariveleño Nutrition Code of 2023” aims to be the blueprint for strengthening the health programs in Mariveles by spearheading integrated and comprehensive nutrition programs for a healthier community.

Also present in the event were Pusong Pinoy Partylist Representative Jett Nisay, Vice Mayor Lito Rubia, Counselor Jester Ivan Ricafrente, board members, doctors, and municipal health unit representatives. 
GNPD’s sponsorship for this event satisfies the letter S under the CSR P.R.O.G.R.E.S.S. Roadmap: Safeguard quality health access. Together with its stakeholders and partners in the LGU, GNPD co-creates positive change, shared value, and sustainable social and environmental development – to ultimately define energy for progress.
