LAOAG CITY- The provincial government has completed the delivery of food packs and social services to poor communities under the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Christmas caravan. | |||
The MDG caravan rolled throughout 22 towns and the cities of Laoag and Batac from December 19 to 23 dishing out noche Buena packages and gift packs to poor families. | |||
Based on a Capitol press release, at least 27 villages, nearly 1,000 households and 19 schools in Laoag were given i-cards, Noche Buena packs, food packs, books and learning aids. | |||
The caravan took advantage of the event to bring veterinary services, social health services and insurance cards to recipient households. | |||
On top of the instant services, the caravan made sure that residents would earn a living through farm and fishery inputs like fish cages and agricultural seeds that were given to select beneficiaries. | |||
Edwin Cariño, MDG officer, said the Christmas caravan was part of the government’s continuing effort to bring relief to poorer residents during the Holiday season. | |||
“This is just the beginning of a series of a Christmas caravan which the provincial government has committed to do in order to make our less fortunate ‘kailians’ (provincemates) happy this Christmas,” he said. | |||
The MDG is Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos’ response to the government’s commitment to end poverty. | |||
The MDG, signed in September 2000 by member-states of the United Nations including the Philippines, sets out eight goals to eliminate extreme poverty worldwide and improve the poor’s living conditions until 2015. | |||
The MDG council of Ilocos Norte is composed of provincial offices namely the Provincial Budget, Provincial Treasurer’s Office, Office of the Provincial Agriculture, Veterinary Office, and the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office. | |||
