Dumaguete to distribute Christmas cash gifts to indigents
« on: May 30, 2020, 11:20:19 PM »
DUMAGUETE CITY – The city government, through the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), will begin distributing on Thursday its yearly Handog Pamasko cash gifts to 25,000 less privileged residents of its 30 barangays.

The Handog Pamasko this year had been increased from PHP300 to PHP400 per beneficiary, said CSWDO head Carola Alquero on Wednesday.

The distribution of gifts will commence Thursday in eight barangays, namely, Balugo, Bajumpandan, Poblacion Barangays 5, 6, and 7, Piapi, Calindagan, and Bantayan.

On December 15, the Handog Pamasko will be given in Barangays Poblacion 8, Cadawinonan, Tabuctubig, Batinguel, Cantil-e, Motong, Candauay and Looc.

Other schedules are: Dec. 16, Banilad; Dec. 17, Daro; Dec. 18, Junob, Poblacion 1, 2, and 4, Mangnao, Buñao, and Bagacay; Dec. 19, Camanjac, Pulantubig, Taclobo, Poblacion 3, and Talay, said Alquero.

Distribution of cash gifts would be led by social workers assigned in the said villages, she added.

In previous years, the city government distributed gift packs to its indigents and less privileged but it decided to shift to cash because of the tedious work of repacking rice and other foodstuffs every Christmas time.

For the unclaimed or undistributed cash gifts, Alquero said recipients might claim them either at the CSWDO or at their respective barangays until next week.

The city had coordinated with the local police to provide security to ensure a smooth and orderly distribution of cash gifts during the Handog Pamasko, Alquero said. (PNA) DECEMBER 2017
