Bislig City Distributes Food-for-Work Aid and Emergency Equipment to Barangays

The Bislig City government, led by Mayor Florencio Garay, has rolled out a food-for-work assistance program targeting residents in three barangays. Alongside this initiative, the Office of the City Mayor and the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) delivered emergency response equipment and incident warning kits to the communities of Sta. Cruz, Sibaroy, and Maharlika.

According to a statement released on Monday, November 24, the program is designed to bolster the city’s disaster preparedness while offering temporary livelihood opportunities for residents engaged in community clean-up and mitigation activities.

"This initiative aims to strengthen the city's disaster preparedness efforts while extending temporary livelihood support to residents who participated in community clean-up drives and mitigation activities under the Food-for-Work Program," the city government emphasized.

The distribution of vital equipment and the encouragement of active citizen involvement are viewed as crucial steps toward cultivating a culture of resilience, unity, and preparedness in these barangays, especially in critical situations.
