PANDEMONIUM erupted on Monday night in Barangay Consolacion after a chicken processing firm distributed free dressed chicken heads, feet, livers, and innards at the village hall.
At around 10: 50 pm, residents in District III were roused from their sleep when the sound of footsteps of people scrambling towards the barangay hall for the said freebies.
This paper saw the barangay tanods could hardly control the people crowding the barangay hall entrance. The city’s social distancing policy was not implemented.
One resident complained that she wasn’t able to avail of the freebie since she was torn between violating the city’s curfew hours and the risk of getting infected with Covid-19.
In a public post of the barangay treasurer on Facebook, Alma Abrio, she reasoned that the donation of Gama Foods arrived at their office at 7 pm. She said they had to distribute the donation because the village doesn’t have a freezer to contain the volume of chicken offal.
“Una, alas 7 sa gabie nanawag na ang Gama Foods sa atung Brgy pra e pick up ang mga lamang loob sa manok. Ikaduha, walay ref ug freezer ang atung Barangay ug sayang pasagdan lang namo kni na mabaho na dili mahimuslan sa atung uban kauban dre sa kabarangay labaw na sa nangenahanglan,” Abrio said on her post.
She said they had to distribute the donation that night since the items are highly perishable.
“Bisan unsaon ug badlong ug pahimangno sa uban namong tanod sa mga residente..dli gyud namo ma control ang katawhan,walay available na freezer (para maigo) ang 500kls na mga lamang loob,” Abrio’s public Facebook post reads in part. (cbc)
