Tingog party-list Reps. Yedda Romualdez and Jude Acidre recently opened four more Alagang Tingog centers (ATCs) in Bohol, bringing to 80 the total number of ATCs nationwide.
The newest ATCs are situated in the municipalities of Ubay, Sierra Bullones, Balilihan and Tagbilaran.
Romualdez and Acidre also led the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) pay-out to 1,000 beneficiaries from each municipality who received P5,000.00 each.
The beneficiaries said the financial help from DSWD and Tingog party-list would be used for their daily basic needs, such as food and medicine.
The party-list also gave away grocery bags, refrigerator units, and one motorcycle to several lucky individuals.
Acidre reassured the residents that the financial aid they received was only the start of the many assistance that the party-list would offer to the residents through their ATCs.
“Starting today, you will no longer find it difficult to look for Tingog party-list’s office. If you need hospital, burial, transportation or educational assistance, our Alagang Tingog Center is here to aid you,” he said.
At present, there are now 80 ATCs strategically located in different parts of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
