San Miguel Foods completes Phase 2 of “Happy si Mommy, Malusog si Baby” program, supporting 1,002 mothers and infants nationwide

San Miguel Foods has successfully completed Phase 2 of its expanded early childhood nutrition program, “Happy si Mommy, Malusog si Baby: 1,000 Babies for the First 1,000 Days,” with 1,002 mothers and their infants now receiving sustained nutrition and wellness support during the crucial first two years of life.

Phase 2 focuses on nutrition supplementation and emotional wellness for new mothers and infants aged six months and above. In collaboration with San Miguel Foundation and with the support of Childfam Possibilities Psychosocial Services and local government units, participating families received a year-long supply of Mingo Meals—a nutrient-rich complementary food made of rice, mongo, and malunggay—along with practical education on self-care, stress management, post-partum recovery, and positive parenting.

To strengthen community health systems, 176 barangay health workers were trained to cascade the above topics at the barangay level. Meanwhile, 155 San Miguel Foods employee-volunteers facilitated small-group conversations with mothers across the country, creating safe and supportive spaces for sharing experiences, navigating the challenges of early motherhood, and building confidence in caring for their children.

As Phase 2 concluded, 95% of monitored babies registered normal height and weight—an encouraging indicator of the program’s sustained impact on early childhood growth.

Now in its second year of nationwide implementation, the program continues to demonstrate strong community engagement, improved maternal wellness, and healthier growth outcomes for infants enrolled since pregnancy during Phase 1. 

Through the initiative, San Miguel Foods underscores its commitment to supporting mothers not only through proper nutrition, but also through emotional and mental well-being—recognizing that holistic care during the first 1,000 days plays a critical role in shaping lifelong health outcomes for both mother and child, and in creating lasting impact in the communities it serves.

Phase 3 of the program will commence next year, focusing on sustained nutrition support and early learning activities for toddlers.

With “Happy si Mommy, Malusog si Baby,” San Miguel Foods continues to advance its mission of nourishing lives, empowering caregivers, and helping build a healthier future for Filipino families.
