Nutrition Month 2017

Last July 28, 2017, the Junior High school department of Asian College of Technology celebrated Nutrition Month. It is the day where we, Asianistas, gather and practice healthy lifestyle together. Every year, the theme for our culminating activity is different. Last year's theme was 'First 1000 Days ni Baby, Pahalagahan para sa Malusog na Kinabukasan' and this year's theme is 'Healthy Diet, Gawing Habit- For Life! The theme is to help inform, not only the students but also everyone else to apply healthy diet to have a healthy life. Our celebration consists of different activities like:

*Nutri-Walk and Yell

Preparation for the nutri-walk

Students presenting their yell

We officially started the day with our Nutri-Walk around the school, wearing our visor. We paraded down the basketball court, up to the corridors of our old building then down to the mezzanine located at the school's new building. Our Nutri-walk is just the same as last year but with different people and classmates to spend it with. I had a good time walking around with my classmates and I think they feel the same way even though it was just a short walk. Our walk stops at the stage, every section is given a chance to perform their yell. For me, this is my favorite part of the walk its because we will be able to proudly chant our yell.


*Zumba

All students and teachers participating the Zumba.

After our yell, we participated a zumba in which our teachers are the one who are leading it. The zumba was very energizing and fun. There will be two students who will be chosen as the best zumba dancers. The winners were from the first year, they were asked to have an encore on stage. We were entertained and enthralled by their performance since it was funny. They truly proved to us that they deserve the win.

*Nutri-Chef

Representatives cooking 

The Nutri-Chef was next to our zumba, it is a competition between the representatives of each classrooms. In one group, there are two students from the same section and one student who is majoring in cooking. They are tasked to make a healthy dish with the ingredients they have chosen and they need to finish it in an hour. This competition is different from the Nutri-Chef we were accustomed, each members are given twenty minutes to cook and prepare the dish. They are to attend the table individually, though it was hard they still managed to finish in time.

*Program and Mr. and Ms. Healthy

Performances during the activity

Mr. and Ms. Healthy

This is the final program where we will know the results of the competition but before the announcing and the awarding, the contest for Mr. and Ms. Healthy is the first one in our program. Just like the contests we have, the contestants are representatives in each section. As usual, the contestants are going to introduce themselves and the fruit they've chosen, that's part one of the pageant. Next is the awarding of minor awards and the elimination round for the part two which is the question and answer portion. The Q&A is where the judges will be able to determine on who's gonna be Mr. and Ms. Healthy 2017. The winners were from the third year and the fourth year, the third year student was titled as Ms. Healthy and the fourth year student was titled as Mr. Healthy. In between the pageant, the winner of the jingle competition is asked to perform on stage for the second time. Aside from that, two chosen members from the glee club performed a breathtaking song number. Everyone was speechless for the powerful performance. Not only the glee club members were able to perform but also the SDACT dance troupe. I am a part of this dance troupe and I am proud that we have performed a great performance, even though we finished the dance during that day.

I can proudly say that Nutrition Month in ACT is the best. Students get to bond with their friends freely and see great performances during the activity. It was very memorable for every Asianistas and it will stay as a happy memory to everyone of us.
