MAKATI CITY — The Mayor of Makati made a personal visit to the Kadiwa ng Pangulo market day in Barangay Guadalupe Viejo, personally checking on the availability of affordable goods for residents. The market offered a wide selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish at lower prices, directly benefiting households in the area. A highlight of the event was the PHP20 rice program, which provided subsidized rice to the city's vulnerable sectors, including senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and solo parents. The mayor's presence underscored the city's hands-on approach to ensuring that residents have access to quality and affordable food products.
A Direct Line from Farmers to Consumers
The Kadiwa ng Pangulo program continues to serve as a vital link between local producers and consumers, cutting out intermediaries to offer lower prices while supporting farmers and micro-enterprises. Residents flocked to the market to take advantage of the affordable goods, with many expressing appreciation for the accessibility of fresh produce and essential commodities. The program also encourages sustainable practices, with shoppers reminded to bring eco-friendly bags to reduce plastic waste. This initiative reflects Makati's ongoing commitment to food security and community welfare.
Next Stop: Barangay Poblacion on August 27
Residents who missed today's market day can look forward to the next Kadiwa ng Pangulo bazaar on August 27, 2026, at Baras corner Morong Street, Barangay Poblacion. The city government encourages everyone to take advantage of this program to access affordable goods and support local farmers and producers.
