TINGOG Party-list joined fellow party-list representatives in the afternoon session of the Party-list Coalition Foundation, Inc.’s Batang Malusog: Child Nourishment Program at Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School in Quezon City on Thursday.
The initiative, sponsored by TINGOG Party-list, FPJ Panday Bayanihan Party-list, and NANAY Party-list, served both the morning and afternoon batches and provided hot, nutritious meals to over 7,500 students.
The afternoon session brought together members of the Party-list Coalition who assisted in distributing meals across several feeding stations. Present were Rep. Bong Teves (TGP), Rep. Nina Lacson (Manila Teachers), Rep. Iris Montes (4K), Rep. Cristina Lopez (ALONA), Richelle Singson (Ako Ilocano Ako), Rep. Rodolfo Ordanes (Senior Citizens), and Rep. Jude Acidre (TINGOG).
In his message, TINGOG Party-list Representative Jude Acidre emphasized the role of nourishment in shaping children’s confidence and capacity to learn, as well as the strength that comes from unified action among party-list groups:
“Sa bawat pagkaing ating hinatid sa ating paaralan, sa bawat lakas na ibinabalik sa kanilang katawan, nabibigyan natin sila ng bagong oportunidad para umunlad at abutin ang kanilang pangarap. Sapagkat ang kabataang busog at handang matuto ay ang kabataang may kumpiyansa, may boses, at may kakayahang maging lider ng kinabukasan.
Kapag sama-sama ang Kongreso, mas kaya nating tiyakin na walang batang maiiwan sa pag-unlad.”
TINGOG reiterated that initiatives like Batang Malusog highlight the impact of a united Party-list Coalition: groups with diverse advocacies working with shared purpose to support Filipino learners. By standing alongside fellow party-list representatives, TINGOG underscored that meaningful progress begins when the coalition moves together to ensure that no child is left behind in their pursuit of a better future.
