GATAS NG KALABAW FESTIVAL

 

First week of July this year marked the second Gatas ng Kalabaw festival which was held in consonance with the Nutrition Month celebration. The main atrium of NE Pacific Mall in Cabanatuan City once again became the venue for this significant event where different dairy products from carabao’s milk were displayed and sold for seven days.

Underscoring the theme “Gatas ng Kalabaw: Kalusugan at Kinabukasan ng Mamamayan”, this year’s main activity was the ceremonial milk toast which signaled the simultaneous milk drinking by 2,500 children aged five to six in 15 barangays all over Nueva Ecija. This activity promotes the importance of milk as an essential health food that helps arrest malnutrition among pre-school children.
