The government is doing everything it can to address hunger among Filipinos, Malacañang said.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the statement in response to a survey conducted by the Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute that six out of 10 Filipino families suffered from having little or nothing to eat during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Ginagawa po natin ang lahat para masolusyunan ang problema kagutuman sa panahon pandemya. Pero alam natin na mas marami pang dapat gawin,” Roque said during a Laging Handa briefing Friday.
The Palace official cited various measures the government has taken to prevent hunger as the country fights this pandemic.
“Sa ngayon ang solusyon po natin diyan ay yung ating mga ayuda at saka pagdidistribute ng food packs ng DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development) at mga lokal na pamahalaan na ito naman ay over and above sa ayuda na binibigay natin,” according to him.
“Nandiyan din po ang TUPAD (Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers) Program [at] mga pautang ng mga small business corporations at ng ating Department of Finance para makatulong sa mga nawalan ng trabaho,” Roque concluded.
