Mayor Beng Climaco provided financial aid to dozens of health workers in the frontline of the government’s Covid-19 response. The mayor distributed the special risk allowance released by the Department of Health as ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte.
She said the continuing state of public health emergency warrants the further grant of the allowance to health care workers in recognition of their heroic and invaluable contributions in the government’s fight against Covid-19.
The mayor said health workers bravely and unselfishly risk their lives by being at the forefront of national efforts to respond to the pandemic. She said Rep. Jawo Jimenez is also working for the release of other allowances like PhilHealth benefits for other frontliners.
Aside from the health workers, Climaco said Covid-19 survivors are also provided with financial assistance under the Social Amelioration Program. The mayor, assisted by Jimenez and members of the City Council, also provided cash assistance to senior citizens and food aid to residents in different barangays the past months. (Zamboanga Post)
