'Ayuda' during ECQ in Tabuk, unlikely say 2 Barangay Captains

Tabuk City, Kalinga―Relief assistance for the constituents is not yet sure to be given since disbursement of budget requires further discussion to ensure there is no depletion of this year’s calamity funds among Barangay Local Government Units (BLGUs) in the city, according to Laya East Punong Barangay Rosalina Bengcan.

Earlier Mayor Darwin Estraňero mentioned in his announcements that Barangays have to use their funds first before the City comes in to help.

Bengcan who spoke on an interview over a radio station said that there might not be a possibility for the constituents to experience shortage of food supply in their homes since they have issued corresponding quarantine passes for them to be able to go to work or go to their farm.

“Since daytoy met nga ECQ, nalukay met daytoy nga lockdown, nalukay kuna mi apo ta amin met dagiti agkasapulan ti dagitoy pass…. nga kasapulan ti constituents tapno ti kasta apo makarwar da nga mapan mangged iti pagbiyagan da,” she said.

“Ket nakita mi met apo nga awan ti siguro ti anya man nga agbisin kanyada ta haan met nga kasla idi ti lockdown nga maiparit nga talaga ti rumwar ket haan nga makategged dagiti agtegtegged lalo dagiti daily earners, maibaga lang met kanyada nga nu maikkan da ti quarantine pass masapol nga suruten da dagiti protocols, health protocols…,” she added.

Dagupan Centro Punong Barangay Esteras, “Awan pay Ayuda”

On the other hand, Dagupan Centro Punong Barangay George Esteras said in an interview that distribution of relief assistance is yet to be discussed considering that residents have passes for them to pass through checkpoints.

“Awan pay ayuda, alanganin ta naikkan da met amin ti pass da…” he said.

Meantime, Bengcan said that they look forward for the meeting with the Punong barangays to discuss mentioned matter specifically on the relief assistance.

“As of now…ket we are waiting nga ni ABC [Punong Barangay Tubban]….lalo na dagitoy padak nga nababa wenno bassit ti IRA da ket kasdiay amin ti problema mi lalo na dagitoy ittoy checkpoint, we started already nga naggastos kadagitoy checkpoint, alangan met nga haan mi nga suportaran aglalo na dagitoy front liners under our IRA, under our budget,” she said.

“Sunga dayta ti pagbutbutngan mi nu kas ano ti ikasta mi ta nu kunami nga pilyen mi manen ti constituents mi nga ikkan ti ayuda dayta apo ti saan manen nga pagkikinaawatan sunga dagita kuma adda kuma iti we are requesting the ABC uray lockdown nga adda kuma ti pagtututungtungan mi dakami laeng nga barangay kapitan para ibaga mi dagitoy nga concern kanyana,” she further said.
