In other parts of their home live Joanna’s grandmother, already 92 years old, and her 60-year-old uncle. Carissa, like Joanna, is also a solo parent with two children. SPECIAL CONDITION. Joanna's son Kyle is fed through a tube that pumps food into his stomach. Photo from Cayabyab His workflow is simple. He stays at home and waits for a call from anyone in Baguio City then he rides a jeepney to their homes and goes to work. He has learned to live with his disabilities.
For the first time in a long time, too, he felt hunger. He said he has so far been fed through the relief packs handed to him by the Baguio local government but they are almost running out. “The problem is with the officials on the ground, the frontliners. I have no problem with the mayor. But I think the problem is with the barangay,” Reynaldo said.OUT OF WORK. Rodel Raquiza with his family in their Antipolo, Rizal home. Photo from Raquiza
He found hope when President Duterte promised that everyone who needed help would get it, if not from the national government, then from barangay officials. He was not given a SAC form because he was not a registered voter in the area and he did not hold a PWD card.The rejection goes against the government’s policy of distributing the cash aid to anyone qualified to receive aid.
Cha-cha in. Covid out!
Dito po sa Mindoro ang pinaguusapan di lang tao na di nakakatanggap, buong barangay. Anyare na sa SAP, 2 tranches for April and May? May budget naman ayon sa Bayanihan Heal as One Act
ang problema nasa LGU-MSWD. meron na silang mga list nyan eh dhil once kumuha ng PWD id recorded na sila. dapat talaga nasa priority sila.
Huge population might have something to do with getting it all around
very poor governance, tsk tsk tsk
