Rep. Jude A. Acidre, one of the two sitting congressmen of the party, said these centers were established in the towns of Baco, Pinamalayan, Bongabong, and Calapan City.
They will cater to various needs of residents such as funeral, medical, and livelihood as well as easy access to the different programs of the government.
Acidre on Wednesday, March 26, visited Pinamalayan and Bongabong where he conducted a caucus among party local leaders and coordinators.
He said Tingog focuses on issues affecting the countryside or rural areas and brings up their concerns thru effective legislation in the halls of Congress.
Among the laws Tingog enacted was the Alternative Learning System Act that has benefited thousands of out-of-school youths in the provinces.
Tingog ranked third among party list groups in the 2022 elections. ACT-CIS and 1-Rider were No. 1 and 2.
