Amid the concerns raised regarding the milk component of its School-Based Feeding Program , the Department of Education stressed the need to “effectively balance” achieving the goals of the program and its beneficiaries.
DepEd said that it appreciates PCAFI for understanding DepEd’s “commitments [sic] on fund utilization” with the Department of Budget and Management , as communicated in their letter. If the milk feeding does not commence in April, DepEd said that the “effectiveness of the SBFP will be affected” as its components such as the milk component and the nutritious food product component “will be split into different sets of beneficiaries in different feeding periods with two months break in between.”
“With big investments for milk feeding, we hope that the local dairy industry, together with the government agencies overseeing them, will respond to the challenges of program implementation including satisfying volume of production, product quality and certification, packaging, business processes, and government procurement,” DepEd Undersecretary Alain Pascua said.
