FOOD packs and cash assistance were given to more than 300 Cebuanos by the Ang Probinsyano Party List (APPL) during their week-long visit here in the province that started last November 26, 2021 to December 1, 2021.
The party list aims to forge ties with local government units to extend appropriate aids to sectors that are most affected by the pandemic.
In northern Cebu, there are 100 trisikad drivers from Bogo City, 100 candle vendors from Danao City, and 100 fisherfolks from Compostela who received rice and grocery items.
In the town of Asturias in midwestern Cebu, 80 students underwent an orientation by the APPL as they are set to receive 3,000.00 pesos educational assistance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
125 students in Minglanilla and 166 farmers and fisherfolks in Ginatilan are also included in DSWD assistance.
APPL First Nominee Alfred Delos Santos promised fisherfolks in the town of Compostela that he will be giving fishing equipment on their next visit here in Cebu.
““Ngayong nakasakay na ako sa inyong banca at narinig ko na kung gaano kahirap ang makipagsapalaran sa dagat araw-araw, sa susunod na pagbisita ko dito sa Compostela, magdadala na ako ng mga gamit na kailangan niyo sa inyong hanapbuhay,” said Delos Santos.
Meanwhile, APPL Chief-of-Staff Edward Delos Santos visited Sibonga in southern Cebu and conducted a sectoral visit to solo parents, women’s organizations, PWD, youth, and senior citizens.
The party list aims to visit Cebu again in the coming months to distribute appropriate assistance in the province. (IRT)
