The local government’s food assistance program through the City Social Welfare and Development Office began early this week and has already served hundreds of families in different barangays to help augment food packs distributed by barangay officials.
President Rodrigo Duterte - through the Department of the Interior and Local Government – ordered barangay officials to provide food aid to residents.
Climaco also continues the distribution of personal protective equipment to health and social workers and medical frontliners, including barangay officials to protect them from contracting the coronavirus disease, or Covid-19.
The mayor also expressed appreciation and thanked all those who donated rice and canned goods and other necessities for residents, especially the poor, to augment what the local government is giving out.
And to help residents with their supply of provision, Climaco said the local government through the City Agriculturist Office and the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and National Food Authority launched the “Kadiwa on Wheels” or Katuwang sa Diwa at Gawa para sa Masaganang Ani at Mataas na Kita where locals can buy fresh fruits and vegetables at farm gate prices.
Climaco said the joint effort is aimed at helping to provide and make basic needs accessible to residents while the enhanced community quarantine is enforced.
The mayor also ordered late Thursday the partial lifting of the lockdown of a neighborhood in village of Tetuan where a 30-year old woman is tested positive for Covid-19 and is now hospital.

“Mayor Beng (Climaco) has ordered the partial lifting of the lockdown and the area where the woman’s family lives will remain under lockdown. She also issued an executive order wherein all senior citizens and minors are strongly advised to stay inside the house 24/7 because they are most vulnerable to the disease,” Atilano said during the distribution of food packs to residents in the zone.
