A total of 103 Badjao youth have received gift packs from the city government here, as part of its relief efforts amid the pandemic.

The Badjao beneficiaries are residents of Barangay Mambaling.

Mayor Edgardo Labella on Tuesday recognized the donations the local government has received from private groups.

“Our Cebu City Anti Mendicancy Office and Department of Social Welfare and Services have already forwarded the donations from Dreamscape Network that were coursed through the Cebu City government to their intended beneficiaries,” he said.

Labella assured that all donations received from both private and public sectors will be given to the intended recipients especially those who most need them.

On Tuesday, the city government also distributed rice packs to solo parents in the mountain barangay of Pung-ol Sibugay.

The mayor has directed the social welfare office to extend much-needed assistance to solo parents amid the economic challenges brought by the coronavirus disease health crisis. (PNA)
