THE PHILIPPINES, SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 – President Benigno Aquino III proclaimed September 24 as ‘Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga Day’, encouraging Filipino families to take a break from day-to-day busyness and enjoy intimate mealtime moments together.
Monde Nissin, manufacturer of Lucky Me! instant noodles and seasoning, launched ‘Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga’ in 2007, aiming to remind parents of the role of mealtime togetherness in raising healthy and happy children.
The President said, “One of the meaningful traditions of Filipinos is the common family meal where all members of the family are present to signify their unity and thanksgiving for God’s abundant blessings. Having a common family meal encourages parents to stay connected with their children and understand the challenges they face.”
