Mabatid took to Facebook her frustrations of the distribution that occured on April 8, 2020, which she alleged did not follow the protocol for distribution nor prioritized the “poorest of the poor.” “Sad to say, palpak ang distribution kay wala na mosubay sa lista ang mga konsehal. Bisan kinsa na lang gihatagan, ang mga datu ang gi una, ang uban nagdoble ang bugas ug ang uban wala gyud mahatagi,” said Mabatid in her post.Mabatid also said the volunteers were not given enough food, the cooking wares were locked up, and the barangay had not properly utilized the given P3 million assistance by the city.
The distribution would now be by color coded coupons that would indicate when they can claim the goods at the Mabolo gym. Mabatid said this would ensure social distancing.Mabolo Barangay Chief, Frank Gajudo, denied that there were special privileges provided to relatives of the officials.
