House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez and Tingog party-list Representatives Yedda Romualdez and Jude Acidre distributed P5,000 worth of financial aid to 1,00 qualified beneficiaries in District 6, Barangay Sauyo, Novaliches in Quezon City.
The congresswoman led the distribution of cash assistance to the residents held at the Greenville Court, Greenville Drive with the help of assigned leader Ashliah Baute from the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Acidre stressed the importance of reciprocity and kindness.
Romualdez highlighted the Alagang Tingog centers in different areas of Quezon City.
“We have seven Alagang Tingog centers here in barangays Batasan Hills, Holy Spirit, Kamuning, Payatas, Bagong Silangan, Sta. Monica and Pasong Tamo,” she said.
Tingog’s overwhelming presence in Quezon City is a testament to its commitment to serving citizens, she, adding “we are always beside you. We will never leave you behind.”
The Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program under the DSWD aims to improve the living conditions of needy families, allowing them to meet their basic needs and improve their overall well-being.
Comedy star and stand-up comedian Wacky Kiray entertained the beneficiaries as an opening act.
Also present in the event were Tingog party-list’s partners in public service, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte and Rep. Marivic Co-Pilar.
