Mayor Evangeline I. Verzosa, together with several members of the Sangguniang Bayan of Tagudin, personally led the distribution of free rice assistance to the 43 barangays of Tagudin.

Each family in the municipality received 10 kilograms of rice as part of the local government’s continuing support program for the community. The assistance was sourced and funded through the proceeds of the 19th Tikanlu Festival, making it one of the meaningful highlights of this year’s celebration.

The initiative reflects the municipality’s solidarity and commitment to helping residents amid the ongoing energy crisis and economic challenges faced by many families.
