The City Government of Manila launched the Covid-19 Food Security Program (FSP) in February 2021. Under this program, around 700,000 families in Manila each receive a monthly food box containing three kilos of rice, 16 canned goods, and eight sachets of coffee. The FSP — which is a key factor in the LGU’s response to the socioeconomic impact of the pandemic — will continue until July 2021.
