PILAR, Bataan – Mayor Alice Pizarro said they are holding weekly outreach program to sitios of their town to educate their constituents on local programs and conduct various activities.

“Our outreach program is more of an educational campaign”, she said. “We educate them on the rights of women and children, solid waste management, hazards of smoking, illegal gambling, illegal drugs, and other programs”. “There are also story-telling activities and feeding program for children”, she added.

“We do the outreach program on weekends, per sitio, not per barangay so that we can bring our programs and services closer to the people and focus more on them, which is hard to achieve if we do it per barangay”, she explained.

“Our outreach program is comparable to the barangay week or dalaw barangay program of other towns but we conduct it at the sitio level”, the lady mayor noted.

She also announced that they are holding a Nutrition Congress in line with the Nutrition Month celebration.
