A. Busog, Lusog, Talino Feeding Program
Launched in 2007, the Busog, Lusog, Talino (BLT) School Feeding Program aims to
address hunger among public school pupils from Kinder to Grade 6, by providing them daily
lunch, so they can stay in school and learn better. The program harnessed the strengths of
Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) in food service management, and promoted partnership among
stakeholders to ensure effective program implementation and sustainability. Since its launching,
the BLT program has served 165,000 pupils from 1,567 schools in more than 200 municipalities
across the country, through its 196 partners. It has also served as a model of effective public-
private partnership in promoting educational attainment in the country.
In 2015, Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) held the first BLT Excellence Awards to honor
exemplary performance of schools in implementing the BLT standards for food safety and
quality, and their innovative approaches to working with the community to sustain the program.
Agboy Elementary School in Leon, Iloilo was named the Grand Winner.
JGF, in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Local
Government Unit of Capas, Tarlac launched the BLT Kitchen in September 2015. It was a pilot
initiative that supported the implementation of DepEd’s School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP).
The first BLT Kitchen was set up in Capas Gabaldon Elementary School, which served five
schools. The successful pilot project was made possible through effective inter-agency
collaboration. JGF established the kitchen facility in the school, while the LGU provided funds
for the parents’ medical check-up and daily transportation. Funds for the feeding program came
from the DepEd SBFP budget. The five participating schools were responsible for overseeing
daily operations while parent volunteers prepared meals and allocated portions for distribution to
the satellite schools and their pupils. JGF will continue to work with partners to build more BLT
Kitchens across the country.
