As early as seven in the morning , over five thousand indigent families trooped to the city public plaza December 8 to receive the Christmas Package offered by the city government of Victorias.
These beneficiaries came from 26 barangays of the city who were identified by their respective barangay captains as the poorest of the poor families.
Games and entertainment were prepared for them as they waited for their “pamaskos” to be distributed.
Mayor Palanca in his speech was very emotional when he said that his happiness is immeasurable to see people around the plaza. “ I am happy but I am sad to see that there are still many Victoriahanons who are within the threshold of poverty. However, the little something that the city offers is one way of easing the burden of your families during this Christmas season’, he said.
Third district Representative Albee Benitez also graced the occasion and pledged to his constituents that he will be at his best to alleviate the quality of lives of the people. by: Joy P. Famini
