Meanwhile, the City Government will conduct regular “community cooking” in far-flung villages to ease the impact of THE Covid-19 crisis on poor families, Mayor Sara Duterte said Monday.
She said that Peace 911–the city’s peace and development arm–will introduce community cooking to provide hot meals for the residents of the 13 hinterland barangays in Paquibato District.
Mayor Duterte said the community cooking will be done four times a week to ensure that “no one will get hungry” amid the Covid-19 crisis, which prompted the local government units to impose community quarantines that severely restricted people’s movement.
