Iloilo Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. served as a panellist on two topics on health – Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools and the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN)- during the session on Healthy and Safe Communities as part of the Local Governance Summit 2024 on August 23 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).
The governor also shared the strategies of the Iloilo provincial government in achieving zero open defecation.
Iloilo Province’s “Zero Open Defecation (ZOD) Movement” has been awarded the prestigious 2023 Galing Pook Award.
This program eliminated open defecation in the province, leading to improved sanitation, public health, and quality of life in local communities.
