MANILA, Philippines — First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos on Friday distributed 10-kilo rice each to 3,300 beneficiaries in Novaliches, Quezon City, capping the five-day rollout of her "Mula sa Puso Para sa Pamilya" initiative in Metro Manila.
The ceremonial distribution was held at the District Center inside Jordan Plains Subdivision in Barangay Sta. Monica, one of the 14 villages in Quezon City’s fifth district.
Under the initiative, beneficiaries receive 10 kilos of quality rice per distribution as part of the government's continuing effort to ease the burden on vulnerable families while promoting the purchase of rice from local farmers.
The event also featured raffle draws where beneficiaries won additional prizes, including sacks of rice, rice cookers, and a television set.
The Novaliches leg concluded a week-long series of rice distributions that brought the first lady to communities in Quezon City and Manila, providing assistance to vulnerable families through the initiative.
