Around 200 persons per barangay or an estimated total of 1000 kids and adults from the five barangays benefited from the feeding which was in the form of military's "boodlefight". "Aside from nutritional gains, the outreach was aimed at restoring unity amongst the people in the communities who were polarized by the recently concluded local elections", said 73IB Commander LtCol Edgardo Yao De Leon.
 Children and adults alike joined the fun games hosted by peace workers of Kalinaw Unit from the Office of the Provincial Governor.
