Press Release - Cayetanos and DSWD team up to bring aid in Negros Occidental
In their continued commitment to bring aid to more residents of Negros Occidental, the teams of Senators Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano revisited the province on July 13, 2024 to reach out to 600 Negrenses in need of assistance in San Carlos City.
In collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Cayetanos provided aid to health workers, sports coaches, and traffic enforcers of San Carlos City under the department's Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program.
This initiative recognized their critical roles in maintaining public health, sports development, and road safety in their community.
One of the beneficiaries, Barangay Health Worker (BHW) Ana Liza Navilla, said the timely assistance she received from the senators will help meet her family's needs, especially for her children's school supplies as the school year is about to start.
"Malaking tulong po sa amin ito. Magagamit ko po ito para makabili ng school supplies ng mga anak ko dahil malapit na ang pasukan," she said.
The disbursement of assistance was successful through the help of San Carlos City Mayor Renato "Rene" Gustilo, who also expressed his gratitude to the senators for their support of San Carlos City beneficiaries.
"Taos-puso po kaming nagpapasalamat sa inyo sa inyong mga programa at sa tulong na ibinibigay ninyo sa amin," he said.
In May and June, the Cayetanos' teams were busy visiting marginalized communities in the Negros Region, assisting thousands of residents.
These initiatives are part of the Cayetanos' ongoing efforts to support communities in need across the country. They closely collaborate with government agencies and local units to ensure that Filipinos in need receive the necessary assistance.
