"Please accept these gifts from our city. The Christmas Gift is a symbol of caring, sharing, and love. Let us remember that aside from the gifts you have received, the true spirit of Christmas is the genuine love of God the Father for mankind. Let's not forget that this Christmas season," said Cayetano.
Senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women had their Christmas Gifts personally delivered to their homes.
"Let us pray to God for continued blessings to fulfill the lofty dreams of each Taguigeño family. Let us give thanks for the birth of Christ: this is our true gift this Christmas," added Cayetano.
The city government ensured that every Taguigeño family received a Christmas Gift. If there are any questions, please call the following numbers: 0962.636.5956 / 0962.635.5951 / 0962.635.5953 and 0962.635.5950. (Art card by Taguig PIO)
