00:06shipped to strategically located or pre-positioned sites for quick distribution.

00:11Now passengers on inter-island ferry travel who wound up stranded in ports when calamity strikes

00:17can be assured of such a lifeline as our Noel Talacay reports on meals ready-to-eat boxes from the DSWD.

00:23This box can help a disaster-striking family survive hunger.

00:31This is a ready-to-eat food box from the Department of Social Welfare and Development or DSWD.

00:38Now that the rainy and typhoon season has started in the country,

00:43the DSWD will begin distributing these boxes to ports and the agency's field offices.

00:50This is to immediately provide food to stranded passengers at ports.

00:56This is nationwide. This will be dispatched and allocated to our field offices.

01:02However, sa mga field offices natin na mayroong mga critical ports,

01:06there will be an engagement naman with their local PPA.

01:10He says they will also have an agreement with the Philippine Ports Authority or PPA

01:15on which ports can be designated for the placement of ready-to-eat food boxes.

01:21According to him, several ports have been identified by the PPA

01:27based on data on the number of stranded passengers over the past three years.

01:33Number one nila yung Bicol. Second is the Eastern Samar, Leyte side.

01:39Then the Port of Batangas. Then we have the Mariduque Quezon Port.

01:46Then NCR North, dito sa Manila.

01:50Then we have the Western Leyte and Biliran, Agusan.

01:56And then number eight rank nila is Panay Gimaras.

02:02And number nine is Mindoro.

02:05Number ten is Palawan.

02:07So right now we are going to unbox the ready-to-eat food box of the SWD

02:12and let's check what's inside in this box.

02:15And we have the chicken rice porridge and chocolate rice porridge.

02:21And we have also here biscuits and five pieces of spoon and fork.

02:28And also there are seven pieces of canned goods.

02:33Ten thousand ready-to-eat food boxes will be prepositioned by the agency

02:39to their field offices nationwide including ports.

02:43Quintilia assures that the food in the ready-to-eat food boxes is nutritious.

02:48The food is checked by DOST-FNRI before being purchased by the DSWD.

02:56During our procurement, in-assure namin na yung supplier natin ng mga items inside the food box

03:03ay meron siya ng certification from the DOST-FNRI that na-follow yung specification and standards.

03:10So this is our document saying that these items are approved by the Department of Science, Technology, and the Food FNRI.
