Romualdez, Jude Acidre, and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian on Tuesday distributed P2,000 in financial assistance to each of the 1,588 residents of Sta.

Local officials from the provincial and municipal governments, including, Mayor Egay San Luis, Board Member Milo San Luis, Municipal Councilors Allan Pamatpat, and Throphy Tolentino, Barangay Captain Allan Damitan, and barangay officials attended the event.
Members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) secured the area and safety of the residents during the activity.
The assistance is aimed at providing P2,000 worth of subsidy to the residents of Sta. Cruz who needed support to access essential food items, particularly the indigent members of the community struggling from economic crisis and the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before the distribution of financial assistance, a brief program was held to welcome the attending officials who expressed gratitude for the aid.
They welcomed and appreciated the offices of the House Speaker, Tingog Party-list, and the national government for providing help.
