‘THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD GIVE ₱30,000 TO MAKE IT SUFFICIENT’ Some Piston members in the Southern Part of Metro Manila have still not received their ₱5,000 cash assistance. Even if received, five thousand is still insufficient according to Wilfredo Dano, who says the government should give around ₱30,000.
Metro Manila
Metro Manila is the National Capital Region of the Philippines, a vast metropolitan area composed of 16 cities and one municipality. It was officially established in 1975 to unify the administration of Manila and its surrounding towns, but its core, the city of Manila, has a much longer history as a Spanish colonial capital founded in 1571. Today, it serves as the country’s political, economic, and cultural center, known for its dense urban landscape and vibrant mix of modern skyscrapers and historic Spanish-era landmarks.
