KAWIT, Cavite – Palm Sunday brought assuring news to Kawit as Mayor Angelo Emilio Aguinaldo announced the arrival of around 4,000 sacks of rice to be distributed to Kawiteñosahead of the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) on Monday.
In a Facebook post, Aguinaldo extended his sincerity among his townsmen and assured he will look after the welfare of Kawiteños despite the reversion to the stricter lockdown measure.
“Patuloy ang ating pakikipagtulungan sa gobyerno para masigurong maayos nating maipapatupad ang ECQ sa bayan, at nang walang Kawiteñong mapapabayaan,” Aguinaldo said.
Apart from the adept relief acquisition, the Kawit mayor also asked for the cooperation of his constituents in abiding by health protocols as the municipality is still experiencing a steady rise in confirmed and active COVID-19 cases.
At present, Aguinaldo guaranteed the coordination of his office and other government agencies to continue serving Kawiteños in the span of the ECQ.
On Sunday, President Rodrigo Duterte approved the COVID-19 task force’s recommendation to put Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal and Metro Manila back under strict lockdown, said his spokesperson Harry Roque on Saturday, March 27.
