In time for the month-long celebration of Ramadan that will conclude through the celebration of Eid’l Fit’r next week, the City Government of Tagum led by Mayor Allan L. Rellon is making rounds in Muslim communities to distribute food packs to approximately 2,080 households across the city.
No less than Mayor Rellon personally spearheaded the week-long distribution of the said food assistance to various Muslim Communities in the Barangays of Pagsabangan, Mankilam, Magugpo South, Magugpo East, Pandapan, Nueva Fuerza, Magugpo West, Magugpo Poblacion, San Miguel, Canocotan, Bincungan, Busaon, Apokon, Visayan Village, Liboganon, San Isidro and Madaum.
Each food pack consists of rice, flour and coffee.
The week-long distribution kicked off last July 21, 2014 and will conclude on Friday, July 25.
This is the second year that the Rellon Administration handed out food packs to Muslim communities in Tagum, as part of the local government’s solidarity as they celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan.
This is also an opportune time for the local chief executive to know first-hand the plights and needs of their respective communities, as Mayor Rellon also met with local leaders, datu and imams during the week-long activity.
This is in line with Mayor Rellon’s EAGLE WINGS governance agenda, specifically on social services and that of cultural development through the protection, preservation, recognition and promotion of the city’s cultural communities, of which the Muslim Community is part of.
Facilitating the week-long distribution is the Office on Muslim Affairs under the City Mayor’s Office. | Louie Lapat of CIO Tagum
