Nourishing the Nourishers: Misamis Oriental's Frontline Heroes Get Their Due

COURTESY: PIA

Good news is brewing in Misamis Oriental! A total of 588 Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) received P9,000 each in honoraria covering the first three quarters of 2026. The provincial government distributed the payments in Villanueva on Oct. 30. The scholars monitor children's nutritional status and help identify malnutrition cases in their communities.

Gov. Juliette T. Uy thanked the scholars personally. She called them frontliners in every barangay, and she promised to keep addressing their needs. Moreover, she vowed to strengthen their capacity to deliver nutrition services.

Fhilirose A. Bajuyo, 45, from Barangay Bobontugan in Jasaan, explained the job clearly. BNS identify children aged 0 to 59 months who are malnourished. Then they determine which interventions will help rehabilitate those children.

Their barangay also runs Nutrition Month celebrations, vitamin distribution, food pack distribution, feeding activities, and the "Idol ko si Nanay" program. Nutrition education sessions round out the plan.

Bajuyo said the honorarium arrives at a perfect time. Because of today's economic difficulties, it will help cover her children's school needs and daily expenses. Meanwhile, Uy described the P9,000 as an initial form of assistance, so more support may follow.

Ultimately, recognizing BNS means investing in healthier children. Scholars can now provide for their families while they continue their community work.

Development is moving forward at Southridge by Pueblo de Oro in Uptown Cagayan de Oro City! As of November 2026, crews are busy with land development and earthworks across the site.

Meanwhile, site preparation for Southridge Residences is well underway. Every graded slope brings the community closer to reality.

Next, the road network construction is opening up the site. Alongside it, the drainage system development is protecting the future neighborhood.

These essential works may not look glamorous. However, they form the backbone of everything coming next.

Strategically located along the Pueblo-Laguindingan Diversion Road, Southridge is envisioned as a low-density, walkable community. Residents can expect residential neighborhoods, commercial spaces, and office developments.

Additionally, lifestyle retail and open green spaces will round out the masterplanned mixed-use development across 31 hectares.

Ultimately, Southridge is transforming into a vibrant destination in Northern Mindanao. As the city expands toward its western growth corridor, a new growth center is taking shape.

So, stay tuned! More updates are coming soon.
