HON. EDUARDO M. AÑO
Secretary of the Interior and Local Government
I have not ordered the PNP to look into the community pantries around the country. The community pantry has been a traditional practice in our country as part of Bayanihan culture and spirit specially in the times of calamities and disasters. Iba iba lang ang pangalan: community pantry, food bank, soup kitchen, kapitbahayan and ayuda, among others. In the spirit of Bayanihan, many Filipinos have been doing selfless acts of kindness since last year.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) today said that local government units (LGUs) in the National Capital Region have distributed P4.47 Billion or 40.07% of the funds earmarked by the national government as financial assistance to 4,477,090 low-income individuals.
As part of the government’s efforts to ramp up contact tracing, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said that some 4,754 new contact tracers will be hired and trained for deployment to local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila starting May 1.
