Iloilo Prepares for Affordable P20/kg Rice Program Rollout
Iloilo City is gearing up for the implementation of the P20 per kilogram rice program, a initiative aimed at providing affordable and accessible food to its residents. Governor Arthur Defensor Jr. recently convened a meeting with department heads under the Civil Defense Cluster to discuss preparations and ensure a smooth rollout. The program is expected to benefit thousands of households, particularly low-income families, by offering high-quality rice at a significantly lower price. With the rising cost of living, this initiative is a welcome relief and is seen as a key strategy to combat poverty and hunger. As the city prepares for the program's launch, officials are working tirelessly to ensure that all systems are in place, including logistics, distribution, and monitoring. The P20/kg rice program is a testament to the city's commitment to providing for the welfare of its citizens and promoting food security, a key aspect of sustainable development. By offering affordable rice, the city hopes to improve the overall quality of life for its residents and contribute to the country's efforts to reduce poverty and inequality. Relevant terms include food security, affordable food, and poverty reduction.
