The Malabon City government announced on Saturday, Nov. 15, that 93,554 residents will receive grocery assistance as it begins the fifth tranche of the Malabon Ahon Blue Card (MABC) program.
According to the Public Information Office, the distribution will run from Nov. 15 to Jan. 15, 2026, and comes as several families continue to recover from the Catmon fire and the effects of Typhoon Uwan.
Mayor Jeannie Sandoval said the city remains committed to supporting affected households.
“Sa mga nakalipas na araw, ilang pamilya sa ating lungsod ang humarap sa sakuna at kalamidad—ang sunog sa Catmon at ang epekto ng Bagyong Uwan. Ngunit sa ating pagkakapit-bisig, patuloy tayong umaahon (In recent days, several families faced disasters, the Catmon fire and the impact of Typhoon Uwan. But through unity, we continue to rise),” she said.
“Nalalapit na rin po ang Kapaskuhan kaya sinikap nating tugunan ang inyong mga hiling at pangangailangan. Kaya naman sinisimulan na natin ang pamamahagi ng 5th ayuda na grocery items para sa ating mga kababayang Malabueno (With Christmas approaching, we are starting the distribution of the fifth tranche of grocery assistance),” Sandoval added.
Beneficiaries can claim their grocery packs at these venues and dates:
Nov. 15–17: 4th Floor Mezzanine, Fisher Mall Malabon
Nov. 18–Jan. 15: Fisher Supermarket, 2nd Floor, Fisher Mall
Claiming is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., with special hours on the following dates:
Dec. 25: 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Dec. 26: 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Dec. 31: 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Jan. 1: 12 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Residents must present their MABC cards and ensure their PIN codes are updated. Beneficiaries will receive notifications from USSC once their grocery packs are ready for release.
The local government also posted the list of eligible recipients on the Malabon Ahon Blue Card Facebook page.
City Administrator Dr. Alexander Rosete said the initiative serves as the city’s early Christmas aid.
“Ito ay maagang pamaskong grocery package ng pamahalaang lungsod. Makipag-ugnayan lamang po sa amin kung kinakailangan ng tulong, at narito kami upang umalalay sa inyo (This early Christmas grocery package is provided by the city government. Please feel free to coordinate with us if you need any help—we are here to support you),” he said.
The MABC was launched in 2022, it aims to make the city’s social services more accessible and responsive to the needs of residents.
As of October 30, the program has delivered P539 million worth of quarterly assistance and goods.
