Exclusive breastfeeding is the most effective method for enhancing the nutritional health of children under five years of age. Inadequate nutrition during this period can have long-term effects on health, some of which may persist into adulthood.

Furthermore, data from the Department of Science and Technology-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) from the Expanded National Nutrition Survey (2018-2021) shows that while timely initiation of breastfeeding (61%) is common in the Zamboanga Peninsula, exclusive breastfeeding among infants aged 0-5 months is low, and continued breastfeeding up to five years is uncommon.

On 18 September 2024, the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Science High School Systems (DOST-PSHS) hosted "STEM Magic" as part of the 2024 National Youth Science, Technology, and Innovation Festival (NYSTIF) at the Philippine International Convention Center Forum Tent in Pasay City. This interactive activity was organized by teachers and selected students from Ilocos, CALABARZON, and Bicol Regional Campuses.

A total of 358 students from various schools, including DOST-PSHS (Main Campus), Villamor Airbase Elementary School, Don Bosco, Andres Bonifacio Elementary School, Jose Rizal Elementary School, Timoteo Paez Elementary School, Padre Garcia Elementary School, and Padre Zamora Elementary School, participated in hands-on experiments and demonstrations related to physics, technology (robotics), and chemistry. The goal was to engage and inspire the participants to explore the "magic" in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and consider pursuing careers in these fields in the future.
