00:46 400 rice bags were given to the municipality.

00:50 Mayor Lemuel Ayan Larcia is very grateful to the recipients

00:56 because even though rice is the main product of their municipality,

01:54 It's important that we coordinate with the local government so we know what we can do next.

02:32 We also gave all the way to the municipality so that it can be directed to the people.

02:40 Meanwhile, he also emphasized that it's important to have a law that will be the benchmark
