In Barangay Constancia, San Lorenzo, forty-five beneficiaries were granted Php1,339,525 in assistance for a range of livelihood projects. Community leader Punong Barangay Alicia Ponce noted the community’s gratitude, highlighting initiatives such as cattle, native chicken, and hog raising, alongside sari-sari store setups.
