LEYTE, LEYTE — The Local Government Unit (LGU) of Leyte successfully conducted a targeted roll-out of the Presidential Assistance to Farmers and Fisherfolk Program (PAFFP), facilitating the release of 333 previously unclaimed assistance allocations to qualified municipal beneficiaries. Designed to deliver direct financial relief to agricultural workers and coastal fisherfolk, the distribution ensures that vital national subsidies reach rural households whose livelihoods have been challenged by shifting weather patterns and rising production costs. Municipal personnel oversaw the structured payout process to guarantee efficient and transparent delivery to eligible recipients across the town's farming and fishing communities.
Local officials emphasized that the initiative underscores the government’s unwavering commitment to strengthening the agricultural and fisheries sectors, which serve as the primary economic backbone and food security drivers of the municipality. By actively tracking and releasing previously unclaimed allocations, the municipal government prevented aid bottlenecks and maximized the reach of the national intervention program. The distribution directly supports small-scale producers in sustaining farm operations, repairing fishing gear, and managing household expenses.
Through the successful completion of the PAFFP payout, the LGU of Leyte reaffirmed its dedication to inclusive public service and responsive rural governance. Working in close coordination with national agencies, the municipal administration continues to prioritize programs that bring government resources directly to grassroots stakeholders, fostering long-term economic resilience and welfare across Leyte's agricultural and coastal barangays.
