Pinggang Pinoy: Nutrition made local
The Department
of Science and Technology–Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI)
introduced Pinggang Pinoy as a visual food guide to address the rising burden
of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Philippines. Given the high, persistent figures of
hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, the practical and evidence-based
image tool provides a culturally designed framework for balanced eating.
