A total of 29 villages in
Tarlac availed of the Barangay Microfinance Program to establish a talipapa.
“This will ensure
daily food supply for residents at affordable prices as set by Department of
Trade and Industry,” Governor Susan Yap said.
“It will also
discourage residents from going to public markets therefore avoiding the
further spread of coronavirus disease. Social distancing in the talipapa will
have to be established by the barangays,” Yap added.
The modified Barangay Microfinance Program of the
Provincial Government is an interest-free loan package for barangays in the
creation of their barangay talipapa.
Barangays who have no existing loan under the program and
no existing talipapa are qualified to
apply for the loan amounting to PhP20, 000 interest-free from April 1 until
October 31, 2020.
Records of the Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Development
Office showed that barangays who availed of the loan package came from
far-flung areas of the province.
It includes
barangays Bora, Sta. Maria, Sapang Tagalog, and Sinait in Tarlac City; Sta.
Ines Centro, Sta. Ines West, Pilpila, Timmaguab, Pinpinas and Taguiporo in Sta.
Ignacia; and Villa Aglipay, Iba, Sula, Pao and Burgos in San Jose.
Also, barangays Kapanikian and Guevarra in La Paz;
Bantog, San Gavino and Balbaloto in Victoria; Santiago, Singat, Mabini and San
Jose in Gerona; Balite in Pura; Bobon Caarosipan in Camiling; Castillo in
Concepcion; Bantog in Anao; and San Roque in Bamban. (Content reposted from Philippine Information Agency)
