HAGONOY, Bulacan — Residents of Barangay Sagrada Familia that are affected by enhanced community quarantine received bangus or milkfish and rice in relief packs from a private fishpond owner.
Approximately 7,000 milkfish and 100 cavans of rice were being distributed by Triple 7 Aquatic Farm to 2,300 household Wednesday morning.
Each household received three pieces of milkfish weighing 500 grams each and three kilos of rice.
To avoid physical contact, residents readied their pail and buckets where to put the relief goods.

“Aside from Barangay Sagrada, we are planning to conduct another relief goods distribution in nearby barangays next week,” he said.
