The Department of Science and Technology-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) recognized us as one of their valuable partners. The award was given during their 75th anniversary celebration on July 1st, 2022 at The Manila Hotel. DOST-FNRI directors Dr. Imelda Angeles-Agdeppa and Milflor S. Gonzales, Ph.D presented the award. They acknowledged our contribution in “addressing malnutrition in the country, creating livelihood opportunities for ordinary Filipinos, and active partnership with DOST-FNRI through the successful adoption of its developed technologies”.

DOST-FNRI has been with us from the very beginning. Our Mingo Meals, the cornerstone of our Nutrition program was based on a recipe developed by them. We tweaked it to be made solely of locally grown ingredients so that we could support the livelihood of our farmers as well. It feel greatly honored to have been recognized by the institution. We look forward to many more fruitful years of working together with them!
