The food aid was specifically allocated to families heavily affected by recent calamities. In Santa Magdalena, the prolonged rainfall that caused flash floods severely impacted farming communities, while in Sipocot, Typhoon Kristine left many households still struggling to recover from its aftermath last year. 

In addition to the food packs, the PCSO awarded educational grants to 40 college students from the two municipalities. The grants aim to support young individuals from affected families in continuing their education despite the financial challenges brought about by these disasters.  

Both Mayor Lozano and Vice Mayor Macalino expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the PCSO for the timely and significant assistance. According to them, these contributions will provide substantial relief to their constituents during these difficult times.

This initiative is part of the Agency’s commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
