Army feeding program benefits children, adults

From the Philippine Information Agency (Jun 24): Army feeding program benefits children, adults

NEGROS OCCIDENTAL - Eighty children and adults benefited from the feeding program initiated by the barangay council of Sitio Aya, Hda. Fe, Escalante City, recently, a press statement from the Army said.

The feeding program is joined by the 3rd Civil Military Operations Batallion as part of their non-traditional role in supporting the various programs of the government, one of which is to provide basic services to the less privileged people, especially the children.

Lt. Col. Patrick Cinco, commnader of 3 CMOBn, said this activity is another opportunity for them to affirm their sincere commitment not only to protect the people but to help them through the delivery of basic services.

Cinco said they are grateful to the chance given by Barangay Chairman Sabeniano Saura in inviting them to join the feeding program, as it is an opportune time to promote and uphold the culture and spirit of “bayanihan” that is for peace in Negros Island.
