Gadon eyes private sector on feeding plan

Presidential Adviser for Poverty Alleviation Larry Gadon on Tuesday said they are partnering with the private sector as part of its corporate social responsibility to help feed school children from depressed areas.

“Why do many students from the depressed areas could not finish their studies? Because they do not have the nutrition they need,” he said. “It would be hard to study if one is hungry,” he added.

He said he has tapped large companies under the Batang Busog Malusog program to help address hunger among students in severalselect public schools located within poor communities. Rio N. Araja
