Bringing Rice Assistance Closer to Families
BOHOL - Under Bugas Ayuda, each qualified beneficiary family in Bien Unido receives one 10-kilogram bag of rice. The assistance was distributed with the support of local social welfare personnel, barangay officials, and volunteers who helped facilitate the activity at the municipal multipurpose building. Governor Aris Aumentado’s Executive Assistant, Jun Flores, also joined the distribution and assisted in maintaining an organized process for the beneficiaries. The activity demonstrates how provincial and municipal offices can work together to bring basic assistance directly to communities.
Supporting Families Through the Bugas Ayuda Program
The third tranche is supported by a ₱196-million Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) allocation under the Bawat Bayan Makikinabang Program and an ₱11-million provincial counterpart fund. These resources support the continued distribution of rice assistance to qualified families across Bohol. For households receiving the 10-kilogram rice allocation, the program provides practical food support that can help address part of their everyday household needs. The Bien Unido distribution forms part of the wider implementation of Bugas Ayuda in communities throughout the province.
Strengthening Social Protection Across Bohol
The implementation in Bien Unido also reflects the Provincial Government’s Strategic Change Agenda and its focus on responsive social protection. By coordinating provincial, municipal, barangay, and community resources, the program allows assistance to reach qualified families at the local level. As Bugas Ayuda continues across Bohol, the initiative highlights the importance of sustained cooperation in delivering social assistance to communities. The distribution in Bien Unido adds another chapter to the province’s ongoing efforts to extend direct support to families while strengthening community-based social protection.
