Gatchalian: Community pantry shows poor have discipline

Senator Win Gatchalian on Monday said the community pantry was a symbol that “ordinary Filipinos are ready and willing to help our needy kababayans.”

“Ito ay ang pinakamagandang simbolo ng modern-day bayanihan na lahat tayo ay may kakayahang tumulong,” he said in response to the mushrooming of community pantries where needy people could take food items donated by their neighbors for free.

In addition, Gatchalian said the honesty system of the community party “also shows discipline among those who are in need.”

“Kumukuha lang ang tao ayon sa kanilang kailangan – walang labis na pagkuha ng pagkain o gamit,” he said.

“We support these community parties and even donate food and materials to sustain it,” Gatchalian said.

“We should support these community parties and even donate food and materials to sustain it,” he said.
