The office of House Speaker Martin Romualdez is continuing its advocacy of providing immediate relief to people in need. 

This, as Romualdez's team carried out on Thursday, July 11 a Cash and Rice Distribution (CARD) held at Barangay 94, Tigbao, Tacloban City, Leyte. A total of 1,000 beneficiaries received P5,000 in cash aid and P1,000 worth of rice, in what was considered crucial support to families in the region. 

Meanwhile, a payout for the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) Program was held in the municipality of Tolosa, also in Leyte. Another 1,000 individuals received P4,050 each for 10 days of work. 

Speaker Romualdez emphasized the importance of these initiatives in promoting community welfare and in supporting the economic recovery of Leyte. 

“These aid distributions are a testament to our commitment to serve the people of Leyte. By providing both immediate relief and employment opportunities, we are taking significant steps towards rebuilding and strengthening our communities,” he stated. 

“These efforts are part of a broader strategy of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. to address the ongoing challenges faced by many Filipinos and to foster resilience and recovery across the nation,” added the Leyte 1st district congressman. 

He noted that both of these targeted assistance programs were also being implemented in other areas of the country. 

CARD is designed to alleviate the financial burden faced by many residents and ensure they have access to basic necessities while TUPAD provides emergency employment for displaced workers, underemployed, and seasonal workers, helping them sustain their livelihood.
