The researchers aimed to identify who are at risk of becoming malnourished (underweight, overweight, obese, and stunted). This age group was chosen because it is the child’s formative years wherein their development is compound, particularly the child’s maturation in physical, social, emotional, and mental state. In addition, the researchers wanted to recommend suitable nutrition programs and interventions that can address the health and nutritional needs of the children. The study used a used a mix method consisting of quantitative survey and qualitative survey. Quantitative research was used to assess the nutritional status of the children whereas, Key informant interview was administered to two food managers, one from public and the other was from private orphanage. Purposive sampling was done to select the food manager and the children in each orphanage. On the other hand, convenience sampling was used to select the public and private orphanages in Metro Manila. Nutritional status of the children was assessed through anthropometric and dietary data. Furthermore, the researchers conducted an interview with the food manager regarding menu planning, food procurement, food preparation, food service, and food sanitation to assess the food service management system of the institution. Based on the study the following statistical tools were used: frequency, percentage distribution, mean deviation. Standard deviation and T test. Frequency and percentage distribution were used as a tool to determine the quantity of the respondents in terms of their profile, dietary intake, and nutritional status. Also, mean and standard deviation were used to report the food intake of the respondents in terms of quantity (using 24-hr food record). Furthermore, T-test for independent samples was used to compare the different characteristics of public and privately-owned orphanages. Based on the result of the study, a total of 60 respondents participated (30 from each orphanage). In the public orphanage, majority of the children were six years old. Furthermore, in both institutions the number of males exceeds the number of females. On the respondent’s anthropometric results, all p values for height for age, weight for age and BMI for age in public and private orphanages were below 0.05 therefore there was no sufficient evidence to suggest that there was a significant difference between the mean percentage of height for age, weight for age and BMI for age in public and private orphanages. On the other hand, dietary results showed sufficient evidence to suggest that there was a significant difference between the mean of carbohydrate intake, fat intake and total calories of children in public and private orphanage. However, there was no significant difference between the mean of protein intake of children in public and private orphanage. Based on the findings of the study the following recommendations are offered: the researchers suggest that both institutions should provide nutritionally dense and well-balanced meal for the improvement of the nutritional status of the children in the orphanages. For the public orphanage, the researchers also recommend the inclusion of physical activity into their daily routine for the development of muscles. Furthermore, the researchers suggest a regular monitoring when menu plan is being implemented. The study can now be served as proof that a stricter rule can be implemented in terms of monitoring menu planning. This can also serve a new benchmark policy programs on nutrition for orphanages in the Philippines.
