Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay on Friday joined thousands of residents in celebrating the ‘Araw ng Pangulo’ (President’s Day).
The event held at the Makati Coliseum marked President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s birthday and included the distribution of financial aid and the Kadiwa ng Pangulo market activity.
The mayor extended her warmest wishes to the President, acknowledging his commitment and hard work.
“On this special day, we celebrate our President’s birthday and recognize his unwavering commitment to serving the nation. President Marcos continues to inspire us all, and we wish him better health, happiness, and success in all his endeavors for the country,” Binay said.
During the event, 2,130 Makati residents received P5,000-financial assistance through the AKAP (Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita) program, showcasing the government’s dedication to supporting its citizens, especially those in need.
“This financial assistance is not just a mere payout; it represents the care and concern of our government for every Filipino, particularly the most vulnerable in our society,” the city chief executive said.
The Kadiwa ng Pangulo, a local market activity held at the Makati City Hall quadrangle, offered various goods at affordable prices, contributing further to community welfare and supporting local producers.
