Abstract
The incidence of hunger in the country gave rise to government mitigation projects. One such endeavor is the Food-for-School Program (FSP). Its major goals are to help feed the poorest families in the Philippines, help them cope up with increasing prices of food and fuel, and provide education to children. Through this program, the government provides a kilo of rice to families suffering from severe hunger. Furthermore, FSP beneficiary families that ensure the regular attendance of their children in the various Department of Education (DepEd) educational institutions are entitled to a free kilo of rice from the National Food Authority for each of the 13 days covered by the program (Ordinario, 2009).
