The City Government of Naga, Helen Keller International, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints strengthened their partnership through a memorandum of agreement that will boost the implementation of Barangay First 1,000 Days (BF1KD) Phase 3, which aims to improve the health of mothers and their children through proper nutrition. During the project launch held last February 3, 2026, Mayor Leni Robredo thanked the two partner organizations for supporting the city in further strengthening its health and nutrition campaign in Naga’s 27 barangays.
The mayor also said that the city’s health workers, including Barangay Health Workers, are highly motivated and genuinely focused on implementing Naga’s health programs. She added that the city needs partnerships like these to help ensure an outcomes-oriented approach—meaning efforts are geared toward achieving good results and not merely focused on activities and processes.
Even before she assumed office last year, Robredo has been advocating for a data-driven governance, emphasizing the expeditious gathering of accurate data and indicators from communities to enhance local government programs and advocacies including healthcare and education agenda.
