First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos leads a series of rice distribution activities across Metro Manila as part of the “Mula sa Puso Para sa Pamilya” initiative. In Quezon City, outlets report separate distribution events in Barangay Doña Imelda and Barangay Bagong Pag-asa, with rice provided to about 1,200 beneficiaries in Doña Imelda and further distribution in Bagong Pag-asa. In San Juan City, she leads a second wave of the program at the FilOil Centre, benefiting 4,400 senior citizens on Monday; another group of recipients is set to receive assistance within the week, bringing the total mentioned for San Juan to 8,898 or 8,900 senior residents. The distribution in Tondo, Manila, follows on a subsequent day, where five kilos of rice are distributed to 500 beneficiaries, including persons with disabilities, solo parents, and senior citizens. Across these events, reports describe rice assistance intended as short-term relief for vulnerable sectors, with each household receiving either 10 kilos of rice or, in the Tondo activity, 5 kilos, under the initiative’s funding and local implementation arrangements.
