Duterte leads support for community pantries Catherine S. Valente, TMT
COMMUNITY pantries have gotten the nod from President Rodrigo Duterte and other sectors for helping Filipinos severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic and were assured of support amid red-tagging fears raised by their owners.
“Nagsalita na po tayo bilang bibig ng Presidente, nagsalita na po ang kalihim ng DILG (Department of the Interior and Local Government). Welcome po natin ‘yung mga community pantries (We have spoken as the President’s mouthpiece; the secretary of DILG has spoken. We welcome community pantries),” Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said during a virtual press briefing on Wednesday.
