LEYTE —Representatives from the Office of House Speaker Martin Romualdez and Tingog Partylist delivered much-needed assistance to a total of 4,710 people in Leyte province over the weekend.
Karla Estrada, Tingog Partylist’s Director for Community Engagements, who represented the Office of the House Speaker, together with Representatives Yedda Marie Romualdez and Jude Acidre, were on hand to deliver the cash assistance from October 1-2, 2023.
Estrada delivered various aids through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS), Department of Labor and Employment’s Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP) and Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD).
Cash assistance was provided to 1,000 beneficiaries each from Carigara and Palompon; 2,500 individuals from Tacloban, and 180 students who were enlisted to the Government Internship Program (GIP), while 30 beneficiaries received pedicabs under DOLE’s Livelihood Program.
Most beneficiaries consisted of barangay health care workers, students and those from the poorest communities in Leyte, among others.
Tracing its roots from Leyte province, Tingog Partylist continues to fulfill its promise of providing better lives through quality public service not only to Region 8 but to everyone in the country, as seen in their Alagang Tingog Centers (ATC) strategically located in the different parts of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Reps. Romualdez and Acidre, on the other hand, are expected to open more ATCs in the country before the year ends to bring government assistance closer to Filipinos.
