Manila – July 22, 2025
First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos personally led the distribution of hundreds of ‘Charitimba’ care packages to families affected by a recent fire in Barangay 420, located at the corner of Legarda and Lacson Streets in Manila.
The relief operation, organized by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), aimed to provide immediate support to displaced residents. Each ‘Charitimba’ pack contained food, hygiene essentials, and basic supplies tailored for emergency recovery.
Joining the First Lady were PNP Chief General Nicolas Torre III and PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles, who assisted in handing out the aid and speaking with affected families.
“This is about showing up for our people—not just with supplies, but with compassion,” Marcos said during the event.
The fire, which broke out earlier this week, left dozens of households homeless and prompted swift action from local and national agencies. PCSO’s initiative is part of its expanded community outreach program, which includes disaster response and medical assistance.
Photos released by PCSO showed the First Lady engaging with children, elderly residents, and volunteers, underscoring the administration’s commitment to grassroots recovery efforts.
