‘Pera ninyo ito’: Marcos tells beneficiaries gov’t help comes from taxpayers
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reminded beneficiaries of government aid that the funds originate from taxpayers, emphasizing it is the government's duty to help.
He stated this during the distribution of assistance at the Katutubo Village in Porac, Pampanga, part of the DSWD's Pag-abot program.
Marcos encouraged recipients to ask for help when needed, clarifying that the government is merely returning their own money.
During the event, 127 Aetas received carabaos and farm implements, while 1,200 others were given P10,000 each in financial assistance.
The initiative aims to improve the quality of life for the Aetas and discourage street begging.
Additional assistance included Brigada backpacks for students and two Starlink units for Katutubo Village Elementary School.
