The initiative stems from the President’s directive to local government units to maximize the use of their Local Government Support Fund by allocating up to 100 percent of the funds for rice assistance to their constituents.

According to the city government, the program reflects the strong partnership between the national and local governments in addressing the residents’ socioeconomic needs through the prompt and efficient delivery of assistance.

“Through additional funding provided by the city government under the leadership of Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas, the program’s coverage has been expanded to ensure that every household benefits,” the PIO said.
