00:24Gatchalian explained that the Php 350 per month of F1KD Health Grants will help 4-piece beneficiaries
00:36who are pregnant and breastfeeding moms to check up and ensure the health of their babies until they grow up.
00:44Why are they being given that? To defray the cost.
00:47Because many of these families are far from school.
00:51Their families are far from school and health centers.
00:55To help defray the cost so that they can avail health services and education services.
01:01And now, prenatal and postnatal services.
01:04The grants are too small for you to get pregnant or have a child.
01:09But rather, this is our help to them so that they can cover the expenses of commuting to the health center.
