1. Rationale
The imperative to invest in nutrition is enshrined in the 1989 Philippine

Constitution as it mandates the State to defend the right of children to
assistance, including proper care and nutrition (Article XV, Section 3), and to
make available an integrated and comprehensive approach to health
development and other social services (Article XIII, Section 11).
National Laws
Landmark legislations enacted at the national level provide the legal bases for
the implementation of nutrition programs across local governments in the
country. These laws recognize the crucial role of nutrition in building a healthy,
empowered and resilient Filipino citizenry.
Local Nutrition Program Management
Presidential Decree 491 of 1974 or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines created
the National Nutrition Council (NNC) to supervise, coordinate and evaluate the
implementation of the national nutrition program which shall be implemented by
all agencies and instrumentalities of both the government and the private sector
concerned with improving the nutrition of our people. The NNC shall coordinate
and integrate policies and programs of all agencies and instrumentalities of the
government charged with the prosecution of existing law, policies, rules and
regulations concerning nutrition.
Presidential Decree 1569 strengthens the Barangay Nutrition Program by

providing for a Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) in every barangay to assist in
the coordination and implementation of nutrition programs, projects and
activities and the barangay level.
The Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act 7160) mandates local
government units to exercise their powers and discharge their functions as are
necessary and appropriate for the effective provision of basic services including
child welfare and nutrition services
Food Fortification
The Salt Iodization Law (Republic Act 8172) was enacted to contribute to
the elimination of micronutrient malnutrition in the country, particularly iodine
deficiency disorders, through the cost-effective preventive measure of salt
iodization. The law requires all producers manufacturers of food-grade salt to
iodize the salt that they produce, manufacture, import, trade or distribute.
Food Fortification Law (Republic Act 8976) provides for the establishment
of the Philippine Food Fortification Programs and its implementing rules,
regulation and guidelines. The law targets addressing specific micronutrient
deficiencies by mandatory fortification of staple food items such as rice with iron,
wheat flour with vitamin A and iron, refined sugar with vitamin A and cooking oil
with vitamin A and voluntary fortification of other food items.

Infant and Young Child Feeding
The Philippine Milk Code (Executive Order 51) regulates the marketing of
infant milk formula, other milk products, foods and beverages, as well as feeding
bottles and teats. Covered entities of the code include milk companies that own
and operate the product, including the manufacturers, distributors, marketing
firms as well as their representatives.
Rooming-in and Breastfeeding Act (Republic Act 7600) specifies rules and
regulations which contain standard procedures to be followed for rooming-in and
breastfeeding in all private and government health institutions. The law provides
for financial incentives to government and private hospitals who exercise
compliance.
Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act (Republic Act 10028) requires

private enterprises as well as government agencies, including government-owned
and controlled corporations, to put up lactation stations. Expenses incurred in
pursuant of this will now be deductible expenses (for income tax purposes) that
can be up to twice the actual amount incurred. The law requires “lactation
periods” for breastfeeding employees, in addition to time-off for meals, to allow
them time to express their breast milk, the period being no less than a total of
40 minutes for every eight-hour working period
National Strategies for Nutrition
The Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act – First 1000 Days Law

(Republic Act 11148) mandates the national agencies, LGUs, civil societies
and other stakeholders to develop and implement a comprehensive and
sustainable strategy for the first 1,000 days of life to address the health,
nutrition, and developmental problems affecting infants, young children,
adolescent females, and pregnant and lactating women.
The Universal Health Care Act (Republic Act 11223) emphasized the
integrated and comprehensive approach to ensure that all Filipinos are health
literate, provided with healthy living conditions, protected from hazards,
guaranteed equitable access to quality and affordable health care goods and
services, and protected against financial risk through a framework that fosters a
whole-of-system-government-society approach in the development,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of health policies, programs, and
plans.
National Government Agency Issuances
Member agencies of the National Nutrition Council have contributed to the

scaling up of the local nutrition program through their issuance of supportive
policies. The policies have been instrumental in further providing the imperative
for local governments to invest and implement quality programs in nutrition.
DILG Memorandum Circular 2015-19 directs the LGUs to accomplish and

submit a checklist on the determination of the functionality of the local nutrition
committee of all LGUs. A list of core indicators, representing key activities on
capacity development, program planning, service-delivery, and monitoring and
evaluation conducted by the local nutrition committees serve as the basis for
determining functionality.

DILG Memorandum Circular 2018-42 provides guidelines on the roles and
responsibilities of LGUs in the implementation of the PPAN 2017-2022, including
the formulation and/or updating of the local nutrition action plan, integration of
applicable PPAN programs in their respective local development plans and annual
investment programs, and passage of local policies to support implementation of
PPAN.
DILG-DOH-NNC Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2019-0001 enjoins all

LGUs and barangays to prepare their budget for FY 2020 and onwards for
improved nutrition outcomes, anchored on the list of suggested projects or
actions from the PPAN 2017-2022, for implementation at barangay, municipal /
city and provincial level.
Local Budget Memorandum No. 77a enjoins all barangays to prioritize in the
allocation of local funds for FY 2019 the PPAs included in their respective local
nutrition action plans, which should have been formulated in accordance with the
PPAN 2017-2022.
Local Budget Memorandum No. 78 states that for FY 2020, the Local
Expenditure Program shall contain the Annual Investment Program supported by
a set of local plans including the Local Nutrition Action Plan.
Local Budget Memorandum No. 80 enjoins all LGUs to prioritize in the

allocation of local funds the PPAs included in their respective Local Nutrition
Action Plan (LNAP), which shall be formulated in accordance with the Philippine
Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2017-2022. LBM No. 80 also includes a new
provision requiring the submission of the Barangay Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP),
together with the Barangay Expenditure Program.
2. Objective of the plan
The plan is primarily aimed to organize and analyze the existing condition or
situation of the Municipality’s general nutrition using standards and other means
of measurement to come up with identification of needs and corresponding
interventions.
The plan is an official document of the barangay that specifies policy options,
programs, projects, and activities that are intended to contribute the over-all
achievement of the barangay's development goals and objectives.
3. Scope of the Plan
The scope and coverage of the plan is limited to the Municipality of Roxas,
Palawan for the period of three (3) years. The plan is generally divided into six
(6) parts:
Introduction of it includes the socio-economic profile of the barangay
and five (5) development sectors.

opinions of rural people in the planning and management of development
projects and programs.

Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
A. FACTS ABOUT THE MUNICIPALITY OF ROXAS
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
It was believed that Roxas was the result of the diligence and perseverance of seven
(7) men from the place called Cagayancillo to look for better opportunities outside of
their original place of abode. These men led by Rufino Bacqiuao and his son-in-law
Fermin Bonbon with his older brother Telesforo and his son Silvestre and other close
relatives like Benito Cardejon, Raymundo Buncag, and Santiago Presto thought it wise
to search for a new home, a place where they can provide for their own needs.
By their very nature, these men are mainly boat makers. It is the only way by which
they can generate income and improve their living condition. Boat making has been
their main preoccupation since time immemorial. They use Molave (VitexparvifloraJuss)
lumber, which they usually gathered from the forest of mainland Palawan for
constructing boats. They also went to islands in the Visayas to trade with the local folks,
bringing with them products they gathered from the sea and/or from the forest.
While on their way in search of the Molave trees which they intended to use for boat
making, they chanced upon the lush virgin forest of barrio Retac where there was an
abundance of everything: lumber, marine life, land, fresh water, etc. Right then the
men decided to settle in their newly found haven and hoped that they would be able to
make in this time. With advices from their friends and relatives who were already living
in the mainland Palawan, they started to search for lands and ended up in places where
there is plenty of fresh water, thick forest populated mainly with Boton
(Barringtoniaasiatica L. Kurz), a local tree variety whose bark and seed are believed to
be of medicinal value.
Since then the place became so prosperous that people started to settle in the place
which they originally named Sambuton, after the tree. Houses were constructed,
schools were built, and roads were laid out with members of the community pooling
their resources together in order to establish a functioning community. A few years
later, the place became a barrio and was named Del Pilar, after the hero of Tirad Pass.
Still under the jurisdiction of Puerto Princesa, Del Pilar was later headed by Rufino
Bacquiao as its first barrio lieutenant.
It only became a municipality of Roxas in 1951 when congress enacted Republic Act No.
615 with the seat of the government located at San Nicolas. However, during the term
of Mayor Bruno Rodriguez transferred the seat of government from San Nicolas to its
present location at Barangay II, Poblacion.
Geophysical Characteristics
The municipality of Roxas may be appropriately considered as one of the few

municipalities in the province of Palawan endowed with the most enviable geographic
location. Roxas fully enjoys the benefits of having unimpeded access to marine
resources on one hand and lands that are highly suitable for agricultural development
and environmental protection. The town of Roxas is found on the northern portion of
Palawan. It is bounded on the north by the municipalities of Taytay and San Vicente, on
the northeast by the town of Dumaran, and the City of Puerto Princesa on the south.

Specifically, it lies within the geographic coordinates of 10° 00’ and 100° 20’ north
latitude, and 119° 10’ to 119° 40’ east longitude.
In terms of its relative distance to its adjacent municipalities, Roxas is about 134
kilometers northeast of Puerto Princesa passing through newly constructed cemented
road with an approximate travel time of three (3) hours on public transport. From the
north, the town of Roxas is about a little over 80 kilometers from the municipality of
Taytay or an average travel time of two and a half hours on public transport.
As per result of the cadastral survey conducted by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) through its Land Management Sector, it had been
established that Roxas has a total land area of 117,347.2 hectare or 7.9 percent of the
total provincial land area,( however due to the conflict boundary resolution and once
regain , total area it is estimated to be 127,040.37 hectare ).
Topography
Cursory analysis of available topographic maps at scale 1:50,000 indicates that the
geomorphic landscape of the municipality ranges from both extremes, from flat along
the eastern sea board to extreme rugged along the western parts of the municipality.
From barangay Salvacion from the south to barangay Malcampo to the north including
the urban barangays of the Poblacion fall under the plain geomorphology. These areas
have elevations less than 100 meters and are currently used for agricultural and
settlement purposes.
The topography changes from plain to series of rolling and steep hills. Elevation ranges
from more than 100 meters to 200 meters above sea level. This type of topography is
mostly dominant southwest and northeast parts of the municipality, particularly in
barangays Tinitian, Jolo, San Miguel and up to Salvacion in the south and Tumarbong
up to Bagong Bayan in the north.
Moving towards the boundary with the town of San Vicente, the topography transform
into series or ranges of mountains covered with primary and secondary growth forests.
These mountain ranges have elevations ranging from 500 meters to a little over 1000
meters. Their orientation follows an eastward-westward direction that tries to cut across
the entire breadth of the Palawan Island. The Barbacan range located west of the
Poblacion is perhaps considered as one of the longest series of mountain ranges in the
province. It is estimated to be an 8-kilometer mountain range that dissects the
municipality of Roxas in diagonal fashion. But the more prominent of this series of
mountain ranges is perhaps the one that traversed the southern barangays of Tinitian
to Caramay. Peak elevations range from a low of 300 meters near the coastal areas of
the said barangays to 1,000 meters in the interior abutting the municipal boundaries
with San Vicente on the west.
The topography on the northern and northeastern portion of the municipality differs
slightly with that on the south of Roxas. From the Poblacion up to the northern part of
the municipality, the geomorphic landscape is dominated by low-lying hills and low
mountains dissected widely by a network of rivers and creeks that drains towards the
coastal parts of the municipality. These hills have elevations ranging from a low of 100
meters to as high as 300 meters above sea level.
Other than these, Roxas has intermittent of flat to relatively flat terrain but these are
limited in coverage. Terrains with this type of elevations are limited only in barangays

Salvacion , and Rizal in the south, the Poblacion in the center, and San Nicolas, and San
Isidro in the north.
Slope
Based on the information provided by the Palawan Tropical Forestry Protection

Programme (PTFPP), it has been found that the municipality of Roxas has significant
areas with gentle to flat terrain. These slopes are mostly found along the coasts of the
town stretching from the southern end of the municipality up to the northern barangays
of Minara and San Nicolas and a small portion of barangay Tumarbong. At present,
these areas are being used mostly for agricultural and settlement purposes. It is also
interesting to note that there is a significant portion of the municipality that falls under
this category along the Barbacan Range. The relatively wide flat terrain was more of the
result of the depositional process of rivers that dissect the said terrain.
Areas with moderate sloping terrain are usually found along the slope of hills and low-
lying mountain ranges in various parts of the municipality. As expected, moderately
sloping terrain are mostly concentrated on the northern portion of the municipality
where the dominant geomorphic landscape is hilly to low-lying mountains. Moderately
rolling terrain is also found on the southern portions of the municipality but these are
mostly concentrated on slope edges of the terrain.
There are also portions of the municipality where the topography is mostly rugged to
steep. Areas with rugged to steep slopes are concentrated on both ends of the
municipality particularly in Barangays Tinitian, Jolo, San Miguel, Nicanor Zabala-
Tulariquen in the south. In the areas near the Poblacion, rugged terrains are centered
mainly along the Barbacan Range and those that borders along the municipal boundary
with the town of San Vicente. On the north, rugged terrains are found in barangay
Taradungan and on mountain peaks in barangay Antonino. Thus, it can be said that
most of the rugged terrains are concentrated on the peaks and mountain ranges of the
municipality.
Climate
There are two types of climate prevailing in the municipality of Roxas under the
modified Coronas. Under this scheme, areas are classified based on the distribution of
the amount of rainfall received by a locality.
For the municipality of Roxas, the Type I climate prevails on the northern and western
parts of the town. Areas with this type of climate have two pronounced seasons, dry
from December to May and wet from June to November. Areas characterized by this
climate type are generally exposed to the southwest monsoon and get a fair share of
the rainfall brought about by the tropical cyclones occurring especially during the
maximum rain period.
Type III climate prevails however on the southwestern portion of the municipality.
Areas with this type of climate have no very pronounced maximum rain period, with a
short dry season lasting only from one to three months. This type is intermediate
between the preceding two, although it resembles the first type more closely because it
has a short dry season. The shortness of the dry season may be attributed to the fact
that it is shielded from the northeast monsoon but are exposed to the southwest
monsoon and are also benefited by the rainfall caused by the tropical cyclones.

However, due to occurrence of climate changes the typical climate pattern had been
altered.
POPULATION AND DISTRIBUTION
Population Size and Growth
The magnitude of population growth is particularly important to a developing town like

Roxas. Table 1 shows the historical growth of population of Roxas from 1960 – 2000-
2015. As indicated by the figures, Roxas was a bustling community since its inception
registering an average annual population growth rates of 3 percent that is from a high
of more than 5 percent in the 1960-1970 censual periods to a little under 4 percent in
1995. These figures represent a very interesting period in the annals of the town’s
relatively young history for it entails a picture that depicts Roxas a very ideal community
to settle in. Roxas was once a bustling silica mining town that provided a great
opportunity for job and employment. People who were employed in the mining industry
which came from adjoining towns, provinces and regions, settled in the municipality
which provided the high growth rates during the 1960 – 1970 censal periods.
However, during the 1995 – 2000 censal years, population growth rates declined to as
low as 1.26% per annum because mining industry were declined its operations, due to
depleted source of high grade silica. With an average growth rate of 1.26% it is
estimated that Roxas today has a population of approximately 61,058 persons. By 2010
it increased by 61,200 and will reach 92,404 by 2023 at 2.43% average projected
growth rate. Shown in Table 1 is the projected population of the municipality.

Instagram and Friendster have affected these traditional communication services.
Water
The waterworks system run by the Roxas Water District (RWD) supplies the
requirements of the urban barangays. Its main water source comes from deep wells
located in Umalad Watershed and 1 deep well pumping station within its service area at
Retac.

As of 2012, the RWD water system has a total of 1,623 active connections, which is
continuously growing at the rate of 15 average new connections per month. Average
daily consumption of residential, commercial and government users are 20 cubic
meters, respectively. A cause for concern is a relatively high systems loss estimated at
15 %, mainly due to pilferage. Level III served almost 4,462 households, Level II
served 3,598 households and Level I served 5,009 households from different source in
their respective area.
Complementing is the government’s own Caibulo Water Supply Project that will install
Level II and III water systems in key areas of the municipality including Minarra, San
Nicolas and Sandoval that will also supply the demand capacity of urban barangays.

center of the north, as well as the new government center at So. Bagto, San Nicolas-
Sandoval with more or less 287 hectare enough to accommodate the national ,
regional, provincial and municipal government offices in the future.
This government center allocates also the area for education, housing, and recreations.
The presence of the latter, combined with the choice of the private banks further
underscores the municipality’s role as northern gateway next to Puerto Prinsesa City.
ENVIRONMENT
Solid Waste Management
A profiling done on solid waste generation in the poblacion municipality showed that
agricultural waste makes up 73 % of the 24 cu.m total volume a day. Food wastes
account for slightly smaller share at 8.8%. Paper-based materials and plastics each
comprise 19.6 %, while the other materials are spread out in smaller percentages.
Solid wastes are collected by the municipal government’s 2 mini garbage trucks with 4
routes daily. Collected wastes are dumped at Brgy. IV, 19.6 hectare Controlled
Dumpsite is segregated accordingly, i.e. biodegradable and non biodegradable.
Operation was under the Municipal Mayor’s Office and MENRO manned by 59 full time
staff, where 25 street sweepers, 10 utility workers, 10 garbage collectors, 6 sanitation
aides, under the MENRO composed of 8 regular staff and drivers.
Recently however, the 6-year old SWM facility has almost reached near full capacity,
necessitating interventions like the waste to-energy power plant (which will be fed by
solid waste, including those in the dumpsite), and the rehabilitation and expansion of
the materials recovery facility (MRF) within the compound – both aimed at extending its
life and serviceability in order to push thru its diversion rate from 5%, 10%, 15% 20 %,
25%, 30% waste reduction. The strategy for meeting the mandatory solid waste
diversion requirements had to take five years time frame from 2013-2018. During this

period solid waste diverted from final need to increase to 25% of the total solid waste
stream. The Construction of 7Million worth Sanitary Landfill funded by LGU Local Funds
will further enhance the capacity of this LGU to properly implement the Solid Waste
Management Plan of this municipality.
Water Quality
At present, the current environmental situation of the Umalad River as well as five
major river ( Tinitian , Jolo , N. Zabala , Barbacan and Linapawan ) is quite challenging
except for Caramay and Magara (which Buayan river diverse it system ) because of the
existing illegal small scale quarry for gold . Along the urban center, it is classified as C,
based on intended Water Use Stream Classification Scheme of the Philippine
government. This qualifies its waters for irrigation of agricultural crops, the
propagation and growth of fish and other aquatic resources; boating for recreation; and
industrial water supply for manufacturing processes after treatment. Water use plan will
be part of ongoing development plan of the municipality which regards to its usage
(includes water quality testing, sample monitoring and sustainable plan to maintain its
quality).

chosen by the IPG – to take part on the Champions for Participatory Governance by the
University of Sassex in London but Mayor Dennis Sabando decided not to pursue the
nomination because of the foregoing projects under the barangay bayan bayanihan
schemes that needs focus to implement. Making Roxas, one of the selected
municipalities to showcase the advocacy for the local poverty reduction planning and
bottom up budgeting of the national government to reduce poverty until 2016.

Magara Elementary School from the south district of this municipality earned the most number of normal weight school children at 447 with 232 girls
& 215 boys followed by New Barbacan & Tulariquen Elementary School with 151 & 109 school children at a normal weight.
It can be seen in the table that San Dionisio Elementary School got the most number of wasted school children at 97 it is usually indicates recent
and severe weight loss, because a person has not had enough food to eat and/or they have had an infectious disease, such as diarrhoea, which has
caused them to lose weight. A young child who is moderately or severely wasted has an increased risk of death, but treatment is possible.
Overweight and obesity result from an imbalance between energy consumed (too much) and energy expended (too little). In the locality people are
consuming foods and drinks that are more energy-dense (high in sugars and fats), and engaging in less physical activity the schools that has a
bigger number of overweight are Magara, New Barbacan & San Jose Elementary School at 6.

Body mass index (BMI) is an index of weight-for-height commonly used to classify overweight and obesity. It is defined as a person’s weight in
kilograms divided by the square of his/her height in meters (kg/m²). In adults, overweight is defined as a BMI of 25 or more, whereas obesity is a
BMI of 30 or more.
It can be seen in the graph that the municipality Roxas earned 1.33% for the year 2023 and has met the national target of less than 3.8.

Being underweight means that your weight is below the healthy weight range — the weight that research has shown you need to be if your body is
to work properly. Being outside this range, whether overweight or underweight, can affect your immunity, fertility, mental wellbeing and other
aspects of health. The national target for Underweight + Severe Underweight is less than 5.0 this municipality earned 4.86% and has met the
national target.

Stunting is the impaired growth and development that children experience from poor nutrition, repeated infection, and inadequate psychosocial
stimulation. The national target for severely + severely stunted is less 21.4 this municipality earned 9.56% for the year 2023 and has met the
national target for severely + severely stunted.

Wasted is defined as low weight-for-height, is the most visible and lethal type of malnutrition. Severe wasting, also known as severe acute
malnutrition is the most deadly form. It is caused by a lack of nutritious food and repeated bouts of diseases such as diarrhoea, measles and malaria
which compromise child’s immunity. The trend above shows that the municipality of Roxas has met the national target of less than 5.0 and earned
1.79%.

Stunting is defined as low height-for-age it is the result of chronic or recurrent undernutrition, usually associated with poverty, poor maternal health
and nutrition, frequent illness and/or inappropriate feeding and care in early life. Stunting prevents children from reaching their physical and
cognitive potential.
The most number of Stunting & Severe Stunting was earned by Barangay Magara of this municipality with 90 cases and most of it, is located in the
far-flung communities that has limited access to clean and safe water & electricity. Barangay IV-Poblacion seconded the trend with 76 cases followed
by Barangay III at 42, Malcampo at 41 and other barangay’s ranges from 38-1 cases.
Because of the data provided above, there is a need to strengthen programs or activities to combat stunting.
It is notable that there is no correlation between the area and number of cases recorded.

Moderate & Severe wasting is also known as acute malnutrition. It is caused by a lack of nutritious food and repeated bouts of diseases such as
diarrhoea, measles and malaria, which compromise a child's immunity.
The table shows that Barangay Tumarbong earned the top spot at 17 cases recorded followed by Barangay III at 14, Barangay New Barbacan at 11,
Barangay I at 10 cases however, the remaining barangay ranges their score at 8 -1 cases.
Because of the continuous support of the Municipal Local Government with strong coordination with the Barangay Local Government thru their
Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) & Barangay Health Worker (BHW) there are eight (8) barangay’s with no Moderate & Severe Wasting recorded
which includes Barangay VI- Johnson Island, Antonino, Iraan, Magara, Minara, Salvacion, San Isidro & Tinitian. We can infer based on the data
provided that some of the Barangay from the rural areas are still practicing backyard gardening and we should strengthen this good practices.

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. Body mass index (BMI) is a simple index of
weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. It is defined as a person's weight in kilograms divided by the
square of his height in meters (kg/m2).
The table shows that Barangay IV once again taps the most number of Overweight/Obese at 14 cases followed by Barangay Abaroan & Barangay III
at 8 and Barangay Caramay at 7 cases other Barangay’s ranges their score at 6-1.
Meanwhile, Barangay New Cuyo, San Isidro, San Miguel, Antonino, Bagong Bayan, Barangay II, Barangay VI-Johnson Island & Iraan got zero
recorded case.

Vision, Mission, Goals & Targets
Vision
“A peaceful and progressive community with sufficient access and opportunities for
competitive and diversified livelihood, affordable quality health, education, welfare
services, and climate-resilient infrastructure, employing balanced ecology, and a
governance practicing honest, effective, efficient, and competent leadership”.
Mission
To improve the nutritional status of Roxaseños thus reaching the malnutrition

prevalence rate of less than 5% through collaborative efforts of LGU and stakeholders
by formulation and implementation of Nutrition Policies, Programs and Activities.
Goal
To provide accessible, affordable and quality basic services, empower members of the
marginalized and vulnerable groups, improve peace and order and enhance quality of
life.

Roxas aims for a peaceful community by employing adequate number of
competent and trained police force and firefighting personnel with sufficient equipment,
facilities, and service vehicles for a quick response in case of emergency situations and
crime incidents. It also aims to provide affordable and quality services to all including
health, education, and social welfare services. Upgrading and rehabilitation of existing
school facilities and classrooms in elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels that are in
critical condition as well as construction of new ones are necessary to provide a
conducive learning environment for the school-going population. It also aims to
increase completion rates in all levels and decrease the number of dropouts and out-of-
school youth in the Municipality. In terms of health services, Roxas seeks to provide
maximum health care and to ensure access for everyone by means of acquiring
adequate and functional health facilities and equipment, hiring of additional health
personnel, and intensifying programs on health and nutrition, particularly the COVID-19
management, response, and recovery program. Lastly, Roxas strives for equal and
sufficient opportunities for the members of the marginalized sectors, namely: women,
children, youth, senior citizens, PWDs, and the poor, by means of providing housing
assistance, livelihood programs, and IEC campaigns that advocate the welfare and
protection of these sectors.

Chapter V
Implementation & Coordination Arrangements
The Implementation Plan of the Municipality of Roxas, Palawan Plan defines the
individual institutional accountability for each of the projects and common
accountabilities with respect to outcome targets. The MNAP then consists of individual
and shared accountabilities to deliver outputs and outcomes. The delivery of outcomes
and outputs which entail institutional resources are ultimately the responsibility of the
accountable agencies.
Institutional accountabilities also include accountability for coordination of the LNAP.

The Municipal Nutrition Committee, as the counterpart body of the Regional Nutrition
Committee of Region IV-B as well as the NNC Governing Board, shall primarily serve as
the mechanism to oversee the progressive implementation of the LNAP. This function
covers integrating and harmonizing actions for nutrition improvement at the provincial
level. It will be composed of the same agencies as the NNC Governing Board and the
Regional Nutrition Committee with additional member agencies as may be needed and
appropriate for the municipality. The LNC will continue to coordinate nutrition actions at
the provincial, city, and municipal levels.
The functions of the Local Nutrition Committee are to formulate, coordinate, monitor,
and evaluate the municipal nutrition action plan. It also extends technical assistance to
lower-level local nutrition committees along nutrition program management. Additional
members of the LNC can be invited to include stakeholders/partners deemed to
contribute to the effective implementation of the LNAP and achievement of set nutrition
outcomes supported by an enabling policy issuance. It may create technical working
groups and other similar inter-agency groups to address particular issues and
strengthen interagency coordination.
In the discharge of each local coordination function including of the LNAP, processes
have been instituted in the past and will continue to be harnessed for the delivery of
the LNAP. The Municipal Nutrition Action Officer shall facilitate the following:
1. Formulation of the Annual Municipal Operational or Work and Financial Plan to

support the implementation of LNAP;
2. Convening of the LNC quarterly meetings; and
3. Annual program implementation review of the LNAP
