Ms. Ami presented on behalf of her research team members Mr. Lance Kyle M. Perey, Ms. Zeira Tamayo, and Ms. Eunica Joy Ustari, who remained in the Philippines. The team is guided by advisers Mr. Ruel Ramirez and Ms. Laarni Lourdes B. Andam, with Ms. Andam accompanying Ms. Ami to Malaysia to provide on-site support.

The team’s study combines community-driven business models with breakfast feeding programs using the Philippines’ official Pinggang Pinoy framework. This research addresses nutritional security in Filipino communities through mobile nutrition solutions, demonstrating practical applications of nutrition science in developing sustainable food delivery systems.

Ms. Ami’s presentation at ICFN-2025 allowed UC CHTM to share Filipino innovation in community nutrition with international experts, showcasing how local dietary guidelines can be integrated into effective feeding programs. The conference brought together nutritionists, researchers, and health experts from around the world, providing valuable networking opportunities and international recognition for UC CHTM’s research excellence.

This achievement highlights UC CHTM’s commitment to developing students who contribute meaningfully to global academic discourse while addressing local community needs
