[Nutrition programs in a rural environment in the Philippines].
The study of the relationship between the nutrition programs and the villagers of the Municipality of Plaridel, the target population, reveals that the Philippine Nutrition Program, in the process of planning and implementing the intervention programs, keeps apart from the community. As a result, the barangay people consider that these programs don't meet their needs and very few participate on them. Furthermore, in Plaridel, the intervention programs did not modify the nutritional status of the pre-school children, and the main short-term objectives of the Philippine Nutrition Program are far from being achieved. However, in this Municipality, there are social forces susceptible to become the supports of the intervention programs if these are based on the articulation of the recognized community needs and the articulation of the community's capacities.
