The local government of Tanay in Rizal has been giving five kilos of rice to each household in the municipality as part of its Pamaskong Handog program.
The rice distribution program was done on a per household basis similar to the manner on how the food packs were given to residents at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
Each family has to bring out a chair in front of their home where the sack of rice would be placed.
The office of Mayor Rafael Tanjuatco told Manila Bulletin that the rice distribution was ongoing as of Tuesday and will be finished before Christmas Day.
