QC sets ‘ayuda’ guidelines

The Quezon City government has ordered that the distribution of donations such as food and household supplies should be done strictly in a door-to-door manner.

Mayor Joy Belmonte said in the guidelines her office issued that the relief goods should be placed in front of the beneficiaries’ houses, preferably on prepositioned chairs and tables.

Belmonte said that donors should be composed of no more than five individuals who must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

They are also ordered to practice minimum public health protocols such as the wearing of masks and face shields while observing proper social distancing at all times.

She added that the donor group must be accompanied by no more than five representatives of either the city government, the Quezon City Police District or barangay officials.

The entire distribution party should not exceed 10 persons.
