CEBU CITY, Philippines -- The Cebu City Government is now targeting around 200,000 families who will benefit from the free sacks of rice as assistance due to the impact of the Coronavirus Disease

Garcia confirmed that the sacks of rice, which are scheduled to be distributed this Wednesday, March 25, 2020, have arrived.

He added that the suggestion stemmed from concerns of barangay officials that a lot of residents in their respective areas needed help due to COVID-19 threats. However, the councilor reiterated that the sacks of rice would be intended only for residents in Cebu City who were displaced from their jobs as a result of COVID-19’s economic impact — particularly those classified living in a ‘no work, no pay’ condition.“We’re not giving out sacks of rice to everyone in the barangay. And we hope the public understands. We will be prioritizing those who were displaced from their work, and in dire need of assistance,” he added.

But in case that this arrangement would not be possible, Garcia added that the recipients of the assistance would have to go to their barangay sports facility or covered courts.
