TACLOBAN CITY — The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) extended critical food security support to local families through its Walang Gutom Program, holding a dedicated Food Redemption Activity at the Barangay Bagong Buhay Covered Court on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
Enhancing Community Food Security and Nutrition
The initiative is designed to provide eligible low-income beneficiaries with direct access to nutritious food supplies, empowering households to make healthy culinary choices while strengthening overall local food resilience.
Beyond distributing food provisions, the community gathering served as an interactive platform for beneficiaries to engage directly with program implementers. Local residents received key updates on social protection initiatives and gained a clearer understanding of the broader support services available under the flagship anti-hunger program.
Sustained Support for Vulnerable Households
DSWD officials reiterated that regular redemption activities form a core component of the government's long-term strategy to mitigate involuntary hunger. By combining direct food access with community engagement, the Walang Gutom Program works to build healthier, more self-reliant communities across the region.
