Pasig City gov't to distribute food coupons for public school students
The Pasig City local government will distribute P400 food coupons to each public school student to support their growth and development during the enhanced community quarantine.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto announced that the food coupons, made of glossy paper with a control number, are intended for students and their families to prevent developmental stunting.
Mayor Sotto has requested assistance from the Department of Education (DepEd) for the distribution process, including where the coupons can be used, potentially at local markets or stores near schools.
Household representatives will need to present a student's identification card when claiming a coupon, with detailed guidelines to be released soon.
This initiative follows the city's distribution of food packs, valued at over P158 million, containing rice and canned goods, which began on March 23.
