Press Release - Cayetano-DSWD aid initiative support thousands of Quezon Province residents

The offices of Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano distributed essential aid to nearly 3,000 residents across diverse sectors in the Province of Quezon on April 23-25, 2024.

In their commitment to bolster small businesses nationwide, the offices of the sibling senators ventured into the towns of San Andres and Lucena, benefitting 2,166 residents on April 23 and 25, respectively.

These activities were made possible through the facilitation of San Andres Mayor Ralph Lim and Lucena City Mayor Mark Alcala.

"Napakalaking halaga po sa aming mahihirap na nakakarating sa amin ang inyong tulong," Sonita Paaca, a beneficiary from San Andres, said.

Aileen Sajul from Lucena City also expressed her gratitude for the timely assistance, especially amidst a downturn in sales for many small business owners in the area.

"Dumarating po talaga ang tag-tumal pero tuloy pa rin po ang laban kaya napakalaking tulong po nito sa mga mailiit na maninindahan. Maraming salamat po kina Senator Pia at Senator Alan. Ito po ay malaking bagay para sa pang-dagdag ng mga puhunan namin," she said.

During their visit to the province, an additional 800 residents from Gumaca and Tayabas, representing various sectors including Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Nutrition Scholars, Senior Citizens, Pregnant Mothers, and Women's Groups, also received essential aid through the Cayetano-DSWD partnership.

This assistance was facilitated with the support of Gumaca Mayor Webster Letargo and Tayabas councilors Elsa Rubio, Luz Cudra, and Melo Cabarrubias.

The three-day aid distribution in the Province of Quezon reflects the Cayetanos' dedication to collaborating with government agencies and local government units to empower impoverished Filipinos and vulnerable sectors nationwide.

Simultaneously, their offices also extended aid to 1,000 flood victims in Bulacan and provided toolkits to 118 agricultural course graduates of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
