The Municipality of Luna took another significant step toward strengthening food security and supporting local agriculture as it launched the Rice Distribution Project today, June 2, 2026 at the Luna Sports Center, benefiting 1,400 families during its first wave of implementation. Additionally, 700 more beneficiaries are expected to be included in the succeeding distribution this month, further expanding the reach of the program totaling to 2,100 beneficiaries.

The initiative is part of the national government's program under the leadership of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., funded through the ₱5 Million Local Government Support Fund (LGSF) and anchored on the vision of "Sa Bagong Pilipinas, Bawat Bayan Makikinabang."
More than a food assistance program, the Rice Distribution Project creates a direct link between local farmers and vulnerable households. The rice distributed to beneficiaries was sourced from local farmers in Luna, ensuring that government support reaches both food producers and families in need.

The distribution activity was monitored by representatives from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), led by Cluster Head Roselyn Charina Flora, to ensure the orderly and transparent implementation of the program.

In his message, Mayor Gary Pinzon emphasized that the assistance is intended for residents who need it most while highlighting the municipality's continued support for local agriculture.

“Daytoy a programa a Rice Distribution Project, haan man a maikkan iti amin, dagitay talaga agkasapulan la unay, makaawatda. Maysa pay daytoy a panangipakitatayo iti panangpatronage tayo iti lokal a mannalon iti Luna,” Mayor Gary said.

The mayor underscored that by prioritizing local rice producers, the municipality is not only addressing immediate food needs but also helping sustain the livelihood of Luna's farming communities.

During the first wave, each beneficiary received 10 kilograms of rice, with a total of 1,400 recipients benefiting from the distribution. The program will be implemented in four waves, allowing each beneficiary to receive a cumulative 40 kilograms of rice.

The Rice Distribution Project contributes to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by helping ease the burden of food expenses among vulnerable families. At the same time, the program advances SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth)through its support for local farmers and agricultural livelihoods, while exemplifying SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through the collaboration between the national government, DILG, and the Local Government Unit of Luna.

As the municipality continues its distribution efforts, the program stands as a testament to how responsive governance, strong partnerships, and support for local agriculture can create meaningful benefits for both farmers and families, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of a more food-secure and prosperous community.
