With this, the councilor is encouraging Mayor Edgardo Labella to study and consider the distribution of healthy and nutritious food items in the city’s food pack relief assistance, the provision of Vitamin C, and offer free flu vaccination especially to the poor and vulnerable.Cebu City’s most infected barangays include Barangay Sambag I, Kamputhaw, and Guadalupe, which are densely packed with a high population of informal settlers.
