LAOAG CITY – On Tuesday, a total of 1,247 village frontliners from Pinili and Currimao towns in Ilocos Norte received cash aid from the provincial government as a token of appreciation for their significant contributions to community development.
Expressing gratitude for the unexpected blessing, Belen Rambaud, a volunteer nutrition worker in rural Barangay Puritac in Pinili town, shared, "This will allow us to buy our needs."
Rambaud, a trained volunteer community worker, plays a vital role in monitoring the nutritional status of children and other nutritionally at-risk groups, connecting them with relevant service providers. She is one of the 586 village frontliners from Pinili who received monetary incentives.
In Currimao town, Rene Valente, a village peacekeeping officer and one of the 661 volunteer workers, emphasized his love for serving the community without expecting any honorarium from the government. "Serving the barangay and the people I consider as a family is priceless," he said, adding that the monetary reward further inspired him to be a blessing to others.
Governor Matthew Joseph Manotoc of Ilocos Norte commended the village frontliners during the cash incentive distribution at the Pinili amphitheater. He acknowledged their role in maintaining health and safety at the grassroots level and expressed his hope that the modest amount would bring joy to them. "Thank you for keeping Ilocos Norte safe and healthy," he conveyed.
