CEBU CITY, Philippines — Barangay Mabolo was among the first barangay who received their allocation of rice assistance from the city government.
However, on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, the barangay had to recall all the distributed rice and returned it to the supplier after it was found to be spoiled. “Adtong April 04, 2020 naabot ang atong bugas pero sa pag repacking nato, daghang ‘BOKBOK ug ”DAUT’. Ang bugas among gi suwayan ug lung-ag manimaho so among gi-uli sa City Hall para i-uli sa supplier,” said Mabatid.
A resident of Mabolo told CDN Digital that some of the boarders in their boarding house had received the new rice. However, his family has not received any rice subsidy yet even if they have been “badly” affected by the ECQ.
