934 Bulakenyos receive burial assistance from PGB
CITY OF MALOLOS – A total of 934 Bulakenyos will receive burial assistance from the Provincial Government of Bulacan amounting to P2,000 each.
According to Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer Rowena Joson-Tiongson, they are continuously distributing checks to 150 beneficiaries a day that started yesterday, July 6 at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium and continued today at the Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center here.
She added that the distribution will run until Thursday, July 9 and will resume on Monday, July 13 with 150 beneficiaries and Tuesday, July 14 for the last batch of beneficiaries which is composed of 184 individuals.
The People’s Governor of Bulacan, Hon. Daniel R. Fernando said that he instructed the PSWDO and the finance cluster to fast track the processing of financial assistance so that Bulakenyo beneficiaries can use it while under modified general community quarantine.
“Inatasan na po natin ang mga concerned office na hanggang kaya nating iproseso ang mga dokumento ng mga humihiling ng tulong pinansiyal ay gawin na upang mas maaga nila itong mapakinabangan.
Kakagaling lamang po natin sa lockdown ilang linggo na ang nakararaan at bagaman ngayon ay nasa MGCQ na tayo, batid po ng inyong lingkod ang inyong pangangailangan kaya naman po tulad ng nasabi ko, gusto ko po na kapag mayroon tayo ngayon ay ibigay na kaagad sa ating mga kalalawigan dahil ramdam ko po ang inyong pangangailangan,” Fernando said.
He also reminded the recipients to strictly follow the health protocols during this time of pandemic to help flatten the curve.###
