Parents and guardians from Muntinlupa partner schools gather to receive essential nutritional support for their children.

PTC-CSJ Foundation and Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF), fueled by a shared commitment to addressing malnutrition in the Philippines, recently partnered to provide Jollibee chicken guisado packs to 885 Grades 1 and 2 undernourished pupils across 10 partner schools in Muntinlupa City.

In addition to the Jollibee donations, PTC-CSJ provided 500-gram Mingo packs to the same beneficiaries. Mingo is a highly nutritious instant complementary food made from a blend of rice, mongo (mung beans), and malunggay (moringa), produced by the Negrense Volunteers for Change Foundation, Inc. (NVC).

This initiative serves as a vital component of PTC-CSJ’s Growing Good to Great Kids (3G) Program, specifically its nutrition enhancement and feeding pillar. The food donations represent a timely and relevant response to the needs of local communities during the ongoing pandemic.
