Parañaque to distribute 100,000 relief goods house-to-house

The Parañaque City government is set to distribute 100,000 relief goods house-to-house starting Saturday, March 21, 2020, to vulnerable sectors affected by the enhanced community quarantine.

Mayor Edwin Olivarez confirmed that 14,000 vulnerable residents, including transport group members, vendors, and those with 'no work no pay' arrangements, are prioritized for the aid.

Each relief package is designed to last for one week and includes three kilos of rice, instant noodles, water, and six kinds of canned goods.

The distribution will be conducted on a house-to-house basis, with police escorting the teams to ensure a smooth process.

In addition to relief distribution, the city government is enforcing a curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., with violators facing reprimands for the first offense and potential charges for repeated violations.

Public announcement barkers are also roaming the city to remind residents to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary.
