MANILA, Philippines — On his first day on the job, the new antipoverty czar Lorenzo 'Larry' Gadon pitched his version of a government feeding program dubbed 'BBM: Batang Busog, Malusog,' after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s initials, and in time for the country's observance of Nutrition Month in July. The suspended lawyer and self-described Marcos loyalist known for making outrageous remarks said the feeding program would be one of his first projects to address youth malnutrition. 'If [children] get enough nutrition, they can focus on their education, and if they get good education, that will give them a bright future,' Gadon said during Tuesday's Laging Handa briefing.
