Speaking at her radio guesting during the Philippine Information Agency’s radio program at DXNO Radyo Komunidad, Candeline Antonio, the project development officer of DSWD-Region IX, highlighted the program's sustainability by coordinating with the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the Office of Provincial Agriculture for livelihood programs for the beneficiaries.

Lizel Aramal, a nutritionist and dietitian, explained that the BangUn program goes beyond promoting healthy eating habits, providing access to nutritious foods, and improving the delivery of health and nutrition services. It also raises awareness among beneficiaries about the importance of nutrition for promoting a healthy life. 

The program promotes breastfeeding to infants and children up to 2 years and beyond, which is the most natural and intimate way for mothers to provide their infants with all the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and minerals required for their overall growth and well-being.

For 2024, the BangUn project will be implemented in five island barangays in Hadji Muhtamad and five barangays in Mohamad Ajul municipalities, with a target of 3,100 beneficiaries. The program aims to improve the nutritional status of children and lactating mothers through a 180-day feeding program.
