Dinalupihan residents get financial aid
Residents of 46 barangays in Dinalupihan, Bataan, on Friday, received a payout of 3,000 pesos each as part of a program spearheaded by Bataan 3rd District Representative Maria Angela Garcia.
The payout distribution, held at the Dinalupihan Civic Center, is intended for “Lupon Tagapamayapa”, a group of barangay officials tasked with resolving local disputes and conflicts.
