These milk cans will be handed over to barangay officials. These officials will be the ones tasked to distribute the products to the seniors.
"Mga chairman, mga kagawad, mga barangay officials, at sa mga senior citizen, lahat po ay dapat tumanggap ng gatas na ito. Ito po ay Ensure Gold kaloob sa inyo ng Syudad ng Maynila," Domagoso said.
"Kung meron man na hindi mabibigyan na senior citzen na nasa loob ng maynila, nakatira sa maynila, nakarehistro sa maynila, dapat magkaroon ng isang lata ng gatas," the Mayor added.
The milk assitance was the second wave of assistance provided by the Manila City government for its senior citizens.
