Cayetano distributed grocery packs and immunity kits to different PTK groups here as well as P50-K as an additional financial assistance to help them amid the pandemic. P10-K worth of financial assistance each were also given to some 20 PTK beneficiaries of mostly farmers in Guagua under his Sampung Libong Pag-asa program.
