TACLOBAN CITY — The Tingog party-list, led by Reps. Yedda Romualdez and Jude Acidre, reaffirmed its commitment to public service during the congressional recess by launching initiatives in economic aid, healthcare, education, and disaster response, in close collaboration with House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
The party-list’s flagship Tingog Centers expanded with four new locations in Ilocos Sur and Pangasinan, bringing the total to 145 centers nationwide. These centers connect residents to essential services, including healthcare, legal aid, and livelihood programs.
Tingog Partylist supported the Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) in seven locations, benefiting around 14,550 individuals, with additional aid to 4,511 beneficiaries in Pasig and San Juan.
Healthcare was prioritized through the “Kalusugan Karavan,” which provided services to over 5,626 individuals in various communities.
Education remained a focus, with assistance distributed in Zambales and Pangasinan. The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) supported fisherfolk affected by the West Philippine Sea situation. In response to Typhoons Julian and Kristine, financial aid and relief packs reached 117,360 beneficiaries across 33 districts, including Northern Luzon and Calabarzon.
Tingog also launched “Tingog ng Kagandahan,” a mobile salon reaching 1,600 individuals, and “Tingog ng Tanghalan,” an inter-barangay singing contest fostering community spirit.
