Labella postpones distribution of senior citizen’s financial assistance

CEBU CITY, Philippines — The distribution of senior citizen’s financial assistance in Cebu City on April 25 will no longer push through.

The distribution will be moved to a later date when the virus spread has slowed down to a safer rate. “Ang distribution mopadayon kung wala nay risk nga matakdan ug COVID-19 ang atong mga pinalanggang lolo og lola,” said the mayor. Netizens say that the senior citizens may not die of COVID-19, but they can die of hunger or other illnesses as they do not have the money to buy enough food or medicine.
