The House Committee on Appropriations on Monday approved an unnumbered substitute bill seeking to build disaster food banks in every province in the Philippines.
With this bill, Dinagat Islands Rep. Alan 1 B. Ecleo, one of the principal authors of the proposal, said no province will have to grapple with massive starvation and inadequate food resources because of transportation delays or interruptions.
Ecleo authored House Bill 5245, among the three bills consolidated and passed by the House Appropriations Committee.
The bill will also help in boosting local agriculture and local economies of municipalities and cities by sourcing the food and other supplies from within the LGUs themselves.
