The Provincial Government of La Union has expanded its COVID-19 relief operations to provide assistance to component Local Government Units (LGUs) that are recorded as high risk areas and have imposed granular lockdowns.
Gov. Pacoy ordered the expansion of the operations to benefit the other LGUs in the province that recorded spike in COVID-19 cases recently.
On April 15, the PGLU distributed a total of 10,041 relief goods for the municipalities of Agoo, Aringay, Luna,and Nagulian.
Meanwhile, the team was deployed today, April 16, to turnover additional relief packs to Naguilian, Agoo, Luna, Bangar, and Sudipen.
The PGLU turns over the relief packs to the LGUs, to be distributed to identified households affected by the strengthened quarantine protocols.
Earlier this month, the PGLU has given out 1,437 relief packs to San Gabriel, Bacnotan, Santo Tomas and Luna.
To date, there are the eight LGUs under MECQ, namely Agoo, Aringay, Luna, Naguilian, Bangar, Bauang, Tubao and the City of San Fernando.
To ensure that help is provided to those who are urgently in need, the PGLU is closely coordinating with the component LGUs to identify which areas are in need of augmentation support.
