TELEVISION host Karla Estrada represented Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez and Tingog party-list Representatives Yedda Marie Romualdez and Jude Acidre in delivering cash aid to 4,710 constituents from Oct. 1 to Oct. 2 in Leyte.
Estrada is the party-list’s director for community engagements. She distributed various aids through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s assistance to individuals in crisis situations (AICS), the Department of Labor and Employment’s integrated livelihood program, and Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers.
The two-day activity distributed cash assistance to 1,000 beneficiaries each from Carigara and Palompon; 2,500 individuals from Tacloban City, and 180 students who were enlisted to the government internship program, while 30 beneficiaries received pedicabs under DOLE’s livelihood program.
Most beneficiaries consisted of barangay healthcare workers, students, and those from the poorest communities in Leyte.
Originating from Leyte, the Tingog party-list continues to fulfill its promise of providing better lives through quality public service not only to Region 8 but to everyone in the country.
It has put up Alagang Tingog centers strategically located in the different parts of Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
Romualdez and Acidre plan to open more ATCs in the country before the year ends to bring government assistance closer to the Filipino people.
