Western Visayas is joining the country’s bid to the Guinness Book of World Records to have the most number of people who stand up against poverty.
Presidential Assistant for Western Visayas Raul Banias said communications were already sent out to various local government units (LGUs) in the region to encourage their constituents to enroll and commit their support to the program.
“Every year we are counting people who stand up against poverty. The people have themselves enrolled that they are one with the initiative,†Banias said.
The program with the theme ‘Stand Up Against Poverty’ is being facilitated by the National Anti Poverty Commission (NAPC), Banias added.
Banias said this month the country is celebrating ‘programs and efforts to overcome poverty’ that will be highlighted on Oct 17. - PNA
