LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – The Benguet State University’s College of Home Economics and Technology faculty member Prof. Imelda O. Degay was awarded Outstanding Nutrition-Dietician in Education and Research by the Nutritionist-Dietitians’ Association of the Philippines or NDAP.

Degay received the award on March 3 during the NDAP 56th Annual Convention at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, CCP Complex in Pasay City.

The award was in recognition of Degay’s leadership and achievements in education and research as registered teacher, nurse and nutritionist-dietetian.

The citation read: “She was instrumental in helping attain a national level of accreditation for the BSND program in her institution having served as educator-administrator-mentor for thirteen years; her extension work as president and later adviser of the Baguio-Benguet chapter greatly contributed to its many NDAP chapter awards.”

“The award is shared with all those whom I worked with, the Benguet LGU, NDAP-Baguio-Benguet Chapter, the CHET faculty, staff and students for all the trust, inspiration and opportunities to do something worth recognizing,” said Degay.

Degay had been actively writing for local newspapers and speaking on radio shows about nutrition and proper diet since 1998.

She was also involved in various researches and medical missions in different areas of the country. -- Jennyline S. Tabangcura
