CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – Department of Agriculture (DA) is encouraging and challenging the people of Central Luzon to eat brown rice for a good cause.
Brown4Good challenge was launched nationwide last August 28, in preparation for November, which is the “National Rice Awareness Month.”
“Every time you get to eat brown rice, either at home or in certain restaurants in the region, snap a photo of it or take a selfie with the brown rice, then post it on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram captioned with the hashtags #BROWN4good and #Region3,” DA Information Officer Anabelle Mendoza said.
Moreover, Mendoza explained that every post of brown rice on social media is equivalent to a hundred-gram cup of brown rice given to the less fortunate.
The catch is, whichever region manages to generate at least 50,000 posts on social media with the said hashtags will be declared the winner.
“I’m sure, with the prevalence of social media nowadays, we will achieve this challenge, or even exceed the 50,000 posts,” she noted.
The Brown4Good challenge will last until October 31 this year./CLJD/JRAA-PIA 3
