A young University of the Philippines physics instructor, drawing inspiration from Ana Patricia Non's good deed in UP Village, opened the first community pantry in Cagayan de Oro on Monday, April 19.
Principe wasted no time and organized friends and fellow UP alumni in his village. They set up the neighborhood pantry with grocery items and backyard farming produce. At least 40 people lined up as soon as the community pantry was opened at Zone 4, Sitio Pasil in Barangay Kauswagan. Principe said his initiative was a political statement on what he called as the failure of the government to make itself felt since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also launched Zamboanga City Community Pantry yesterday at Sitio Tibak, Brgy Divisoria.
