Misamis Occidental government begins distribution of Pamaskong Handog 2023

 


OROQUIETA, Misamis Occidental---In the spirit of the annual festivity and a gesture of love to people, Misamis Occidental Governor Henry Oaminal launched the distribution of this year’s Pamaskong Handog 2023 on Sunday, December 10 here in the province.

For the first time the local chief executive, new barangay captains, and Sangguniang Kabataan chairpersons have converged, in a joint activity, at the Asenso Misamis Occidental Farmers and Cultural Center, to spread the spirit of this year’s nativity.

Beneficiaries received food packs—containing spaghetti pasta and sauce, corned beef, luncheon meat, and Vienna sausage— as well as T-shirts, and cash gifts from the provincial government, provided through Gov. Oaminal, congressmen, and other local government units.

Gov. Oaminal stressed the significance of government provisions such as pamaskong handog that can uplift the living conditions of the  Misamisnon families and allow them to have a bountiful holiday celebration.

“Niining maong Christmas season, simbolo kini sa akong pagmahal kaninyo nga sa atong pamaskong handog atong ipaabot sa mga katawhan ang diwa sa pasko,” Gov. Oaminal said.

Pamaskong handog has been part of the programs of Governor Oaminal since he was Congressman in 2013.

Gov. Oaminal vowed to establish a “culture of fairness and good governance” for the Misamisnon to receive better services they deserve.

The provincial government targets distributing more than 176,000 food packs to each family in the province.

The distribution is scheduled from Dec. 12 to 19, which will be done per barangay.



The Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental delivered early Christmas presents to barangay captains and SK Chairpersons as part of the Pamaskong Handog Program 2023.

  In the heart of Misamis Occidental, Barangay Bonifacio in Calamba, there’s a government push for a transformative initiative—a testament that providing a quality public service to every Misamisnon is the primary vision of Governor Henry Oaminal. The provincial government’s water system project has become a lifeline for the residents in the province’s far-flung communities. For years, these people have been suffering from water scarcity, forcing them to exert extra effort to go through difficult digging just to acquire such essential life requirements. Tatay, a resident in the area, shared how hard for him to get water. He has to walk miles-after-miles while carrying heavy water containers rain or shine.

It was a grueling and time-consuming task. Our daily lives revolved around this quest ...
