Philippines army unit feeds thousands during Ramadan
QUEZON CITY, Philippines (MNTV) – A Philippines army unit has launched a mobile kitchen to provide iftar meals for Muslim communities during Ramadan, reinforcing connections between government agencies and diverse communities.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Joint Task Force National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) distributed 2,000 hot meal packs in Barangay Culiat, Quezon City, in collaboration with the Integrative Center for Alternative Development and the Australian Relief Organization, according to the Philippines Information Agency.
The Quezon City Bangsamoro Affairs Service also contributed by preparing meals and organizing food packs for local mosques.
During the launch event, community leaders and donors shared messages of support. Selim Sirinuglo of the ICAD Foundation expressed gratitude to soldiers, police, and volunteers for their efforts in making the event possible.
Lt. Col. Arniel Tormis of JTF-NCR stated that the initiative will continue until March 23. The program underscores the military’s commitment to fostering social cohesion while respecting and supporting religious traditions.
We must take charge of our narrative. Research indicates that 92% of their Muslim coverage is negative. Help us change that.
