“Maraming-maraming salamat Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, Jr.!!!”
Thus, Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna led city officials and the 5,000 barangay tanods from District 5 in thanking President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. altogether, for the consistent inclusion of Manila in its programs.
The said barangay tanods were named recipients in the distribution of monetary assistance from the “Kadiwa ng Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.,” which was carried out in coordination with the city government of Manila through the office of Mayor Lacuna.
The mayor was joined by Vice Mayor Yul Servo, Congressman Irwin Tieng (5th district), Manila department of social welfare chief Re Fugoso and city councilors in the distribution of the said cash aid to the barangay tanods which was held at the San Andres Sports Complex.
In her short message, Lacuna led all those present to express gratitude to President Marcos, Jr. for always keeping the city of Manila in mind, whenever there is an opportunity to hand out benefits. Each of the barangay tanods received P2,000 each.
Lacuna shared that when Fugoso brought the good news to her that the national government is planning to download some funds to the city of Manila, she immediately thought of the barangay tanods, whom she said need the aid the most.
“Ang sabi ko, bigyan naman natin ang mga tanod kasi parang kayo ang di masyadong napapansin, kaya naman talagang ginawan namin ng paraan sa tulong ng barangay bureau at MDSW. Sabi ko, pasayahin naman natin ang tanod ng buong Maynila,” the mayor said.
She also broke the good news that the said aid from President Marcos, Jr. will not be the last.
Before the distribution of the said funds, Lacuna expressed her profound gratitude to the barangay tanods, thus: “salamat sa mga taong araw-araw natulong sa barangay.”
Servo and Tieng echoed the mayor’s pronouncements as they also praised President Marcos for the help to the city and the barangay tanods for their dedication to service.
According to Servo, Manila is grateful to President Marcos, Jr. for always including in Manila in its projects.
Tieng also vowed to do everything within his means as a member of Congress to help the city government get whatever possible aid it can from the national government.
