TACLOBAN CITY – The municipal government of Catarman, Northern Samar, has pledged its continued support for members of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu), recognizing their role in maintaining peace and security in the capital town.
As part of this commitment, the Municipal Treasurer’s Office and the Office of the Municipal Mayor distributed cash allowances to Cafgu members for the first quarter of 2025 at the 43rd Infantry Battalion camp in Lope de Vega town.
A total of 77 Cafgu members received P3,000 each for the first quarter, along with an additional P1,000 that was originally intended for release in December 2024.
Under the leadership of Mayor Francisco Aurelio Rosales III, the municipal government has committed to providing a monthly cash allowance of P1,000 to each Cafgu member from Catarman to assist with their family’s needs.
This initiative, which began in October 2024, is a priority of the current administration, with hopes that future town leaders will continue the program.
