The Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) is also doing its fare share in the battle against the novel coronavirus
2019 disease or COVID-19.
Not
solely responsible for the strict enforcement of the enhanced community
quarantine (ECQ) protocols they decided to deploy two mobile kitchens to Quezon
City to provide hot meals for the homeless and street dwellers in the coming
days.
As
per the AFP, they will serve 3,000 hot meals a day in the next few days. The
project started at the village of Tatalon, according to AFP public affairs
chief Capt. Jonathan Zata in a statement.

Stranded workers, students, informal settlers and families in
impoverished communities are also expected to benefit from the mobile kitchens.
Culinary-trained soldiers will prepare the meals daily, while
support personnel will deliver them to designated drop-off points, Zata said.
Zata said Purok 1, 2 and 3, of Barangay
Tatalon, Quezon City will be the pilot project site for the activity before
possibly shifting to other adjacent communities.
He said provision of meals through the
AFP mobile kitchen follows ECQ protocols which limit civilian movements and
activities outside their residences. “Other identified beneficiaries include
stranded workers or students receiving little or no support, informal settlers
and families in depressed communities,” Zata said.
The project is being implemented
by the Civil Relations Service AFP (CRSAFP) led by its commander, Maj. Gen.
Ernesto Torres Jr.
“Those who wish to contribute
and be part of “Kapwa Ko, Sagot Ko” campaign whether through the use of
military resources or donations, may coordinate with the CRSAFP,” Zata said.
