TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE. In an unexpected move by Mayor Roygie Jumamoy, teamINABANGA announced in its social media accounts the distribution of two sacks of rice to families who were tagged as Social Amelioration Program (SAP) left-outs across its 50 barangays last June 4, 2020. The move earned praises among its 52,482 residents and got hundreds of positive comments and shares among its thousands of followers. Target recipients of this program were families of those senior citizens, UCT members and pensioners who did not benefit from the SAP, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW’s), private employees, public employees, barangay officials, municipal officials and all sectors of the community who did not benefit from SAP. This food assistance program was funded by teamINABANGA and partly by Bayanihan Grant Program in line with Mayor Roygie’s program to help all Inabangnons especially those SAP left-outs who were also equally affected by this COVID-19 pandemic.
