SAN JUAN CITY — The municipal government concluded its fourth rice distribution cycle for senior citizens on Wednesday, with the program covering the entire city across all 21 barangays. The initiative, financed through the Local Government Support Fund (LGSF), extended assistance to 8,828 elderly residents throughout the distribution rounds. Each senior citizen beneficiary received 10 kilograms of rice per distribution wave as part of the city's targeted poverty alleviation efforts. The multi-phase approach ensured equitable coverage of the city's elderly population and provided regular support to vulnerable residents. Local officials said the program underscores the city government's commitment to addressing food security among its senior citizens, particularly those from low-income households.
