Growing up with 'Laki sa Gatas'

MANILA, Philippines - As the school year begins, a lot of moms also face new challenges from the pressure of stretching their budget for school necessities. Among these many assorted concerns are the school baon and meals. There’s the all-important task of making sure their little ones are getting good nutrition needed for effective schooling.

Milk, known as a very healthy beverage, is loaded with all the essential vitamins and minerals the body needs. Combined with a nutritious meal, milk is instrumental in building a healthier and stronger foundation for schooling. One product that has long been advocating the importance of nutrition for good education is Bear Brand powdered milk drink. It values the idea that kids with better immune systems will do better in school. 

That’s why this school year, its Laki sa Gatas (LSG) nutrition education advocacy continues to visit public schools in the country to teach parents and kids the connection of good nutrition to effective education. This is done by teaching them how to make the right food choices affordably, such as by incorporating the Go (for energy), Grow (for bone and muscle development), and Glow (for body resistance) food groups in every meal. Fortified with nutrients found in all three basic food groups, Bear Brand powdered milk drink is also the most ideal beverage to give for all moms seeking a nutritionally complete and affordable way of fortifying kids to school. 

Jasmin Estacio, consumer marketing manager for Bear Brand, says, “We aim to provide all hardworking moms a product that’s just as hardworking, nutritionally speaking. With Bear Brand, we help kids be healthy so that they will do well in school and make a brighter future for themselves.”
