The program aims to raise awareness about the importance of good nutrition for Filipinos, particularly for women office workers and expectant mothers. Specifically, the activity wants to highlight nutrition intervention and its role in the overall improved health and productivity of women and their families.

In her opening remarks, Her Excellency Philippine Ambassador to the State of Qatar Lillibeth V. Pono said, “There are challenges that overseas Filipinos in Qatar face with regard to their total well being. We often take for granted nutrition and diet in our daily lives, so we hope that this afternoon will provide you with an informative, relatable, and experiential lecture on nutrition.”

DOHA 27 July 2024 — The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in the State of Qatar, represented by First Secretary and Consul General Cassandra B. Sawadjaan, graced the chartering, dubbing, and elevation of the Board of Trustees of the Knights of Rizal-Qatar Chapter on 26 July 2024.

In her remarks, Consul General Sawadjaan highlighted the values that national José Rizal lived by and died for — love for one’s country and the fervent devotion to freedom.

“The same conditions that prompted Rizal to be an agent for change in the 19th century still exist, sadly, in the 21st century,” she said. “And so in the complex and confusing times we live in, we hark back to Rizal’s clarity of vision, his ideals for self-determination, his pride for the Filipino race, and his indomitable spirit to rise above the challenges thrown his way.”

The chartering of KOR-Qatar Chapter followed the chartering of the KOR-Doha Chapter on 13 July 2024.
