                                 Ang Paglalakbay ni Marco sa Magandang Los Baños Noong unang panahon, sa isang maliit na bayan ng Los Baños sa Laguna, may nakatirang isang masigasig na batang nagngangalang Marco. Siya ay isang malikhain at mapaglaro na batang laging handang magtuklas ng mga bagong bagay sa kanilang bayan. Isang araw, nang magkaroon ng school field trip ang kanilang paaralan, dinala sila sa mga magagandang tanawin sa Los Baños. Sa kanilang paglilibot sa bayan, dinala sila sa University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). Doon, ipinakita ang mga iba't ibang uri ng halaman at hayop na matatagpuan sa lugar. Sa dulo ng kanilang field trip, nagpasya silang bisitahin ang makasaysayang Bahay ni Heneral Paciano Rizal. Doon, nakita nila ang mga rebulto ng bayaning nagbuwis ng buhay para sa kalayaan ng bansa.   Mga Tanong: 1. Ano ang pangalan ng batang lalaki sa kuwento?                       a. Jose     b.

  The Philippines officially embraced the 2007 World Health Organization-Child Growth Standards (WHO-CGS) for evaluating the health of Filipino school children, as endorsed by the National Nutrition Council (NNC) Governing Board through Resolutions 2 and 3 of 2008 and 2009, respectively. The WHO introduced these international growth standards in 2007 to enhance the screening, surveillance, and monitoring of school children and adolescents worldwide. These standards emerged in response to the growing global issue of childhood obesity, coinciding with the release of new CGS guidelines for infants, preschool children, and adolescents.
