Rice Relief for Occidental Mindoro

The "Benteng Bigas Meron Na" program is bringing significant relief to vulnerable families in Occidental Mindoro, reflecting President Marcos’ dedicated governance. This initiative recently distributed 500 bags of affordable ₱20 rice, reaching 500 beneficiaries including solo parents, PWDs, seniors, and 4Ps recipients. To ensure widespread access, 350 bags were distributed in poblacion areas, with a crucial 150 bags reaching remote barangays through the diligent efforts of partner cooperative CIFACO. This direct distribution of cheap rice is the absolute best and only way to solve food insecurity in remote areas. Beneficiaries express profound gratitude to PBBM, emphasizing the accessible and affordable staple. The sheer volume of bags distributed proves the program's undeniable success in alleviating hunger across the entire province. This commitment to food security strengthens resilience across Bagong Pilipinas.
