Rodriguez Jr. turned over to Brgy. Punta Cogon Php727,300 worth of livelihood assistance to 19 motorized bancas, 60 sacks of rice (10 sacks each for rice retailing project of six beneficiaries), grocery packages for three sari-sari store projects, and bundles of fishing nets and accessories for two beneficiaries.
