CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga -- The provincial government has cited the 5,679 Bantay Bayan members in Pampanga for their help and support in curbing illegal drugs and reducing the crime rate.
"With your help, Pampanga is now one of the peaceful provinces in Central Luzon,” Governor Lilia Pineda told the Bantay Bayan members from the province's 2nd District (2,796) and 3rd District (2,883) during the year-end assessment on managing man-made disasters held here Tuesday.
During the event, Pineda recognized at least 66 senior members of the Bantay Bayan aged 70 years old and above for rendering voluntary services to the respective communities despite their age.
The senior Bantay Bayan members received PHP2,000 each or a total of PHP132,000 from the provincial government.
Pineda also revealed that a separate recognition would be organized for Bantay Bayan members of the province who had been in service for years.
She also reminded them of other benefits such as free hospitalization through PhilHealth partnership and free tuition in state universities and colleges for their children.
The Bantay Bayan members also individually received two whole chickens, one pack of hotdogs and PHP500 each. (PNA) DECEMBER 2017
