Rebaldo hands out wheelchair and financial assistance


Kalibo, Aklan – Jun Elias of Brgy. New Buswang, a vehicular accident victim, joyfully received a wheelchair from Mayor Raymar Rebaldo facilitated through the Municipal Social Welfare Dev’t. Office and DSWD Reg. 6 at the Mayor’s Office on February 27, 2007, this town.

A financial assistance is also handed out by Mayor Rebaldo in behalf of the ABS-CBN Foundation to Remedios Reodava of Brgy. Bakhaw Norte, whose life story has been selected and featured in an episode in “Maala-ala Mo Kaya” in ABS-CBN Channel 2.

The distribution of wheelchair and financial assistance is a positive example of the hand-in-hand cooperation between the local government of Kalibo, the national government agencies and non government organizations to alleviate the state of poverty in the Ati-Atihan town of Kalibo and bring hope to those who are in need.
