Tagaytay's Big Win
Tagaytay City was recognized as a Nutrition Honor Award Maintainer for its continuous excellence in public health and community nutrition programs. This isn't a one-time achievement.

The award reflects the city's sustained commitment to ensuring that residents have access to proper nutrition and health services, and it serves as an inspiration for other local government units to prioritize the well-being of their communities.
The Winners Who Made the Region Proud
The ceremony brought together the best and brightest in nutrition and public health from across CALABARZON.

Programs like these are the backbone of public health, and CALABARZON is proving it's setting the standard.
