Mario E. de la Peña distributed Enhanced Nutribun (from DOST-IV-A) to the officers and staff of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and to the community of Persons Deprived of Liberty of the province of Siquijor.

As part of the government’s relief effort to those affected by Typhoon Odette, DOST CALABARZON donated 1,000 pieces of Enhanced Nutribun to DOST SIQUIJOR PSTC.  The latter’s beneficiaries are preferentially those projects that have availed of DOST’s intervention under the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP), Grants-in-Aid (GIA), and the Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (CEST) program.  Its Samaritan spirit, however, extended to small communities other than those aforementioned.
