President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s Partido Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) launched \u201cDuterte\u2019s Kitchen\u201d in Cubao, Quezon City, a feeding program for the poor on December 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Glen Badon, PDP-Laban national executive director, Duterte\u2019s Kitchen was agreed upon during a meeting among Speaker Pantaleon D. Alvarez, Senate President Aquilino L. Pimentel III, Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi and other party officials.<\/span>
\n Managed by Dexter Baracael, the feeding program aims to complement the ruling party\u2019s Social Services and Economic Development Program and Duterte\u2019s advocacy to feed the poor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the brainchild of the Speaker after their meeting,\u201d Badon said, adding that Duterte\u2019s Kitchen, which is located near the Metro Rail Transit 3 Cubao station, seeks to feed hundreds of children daily.<\/span>
\n Located along EDSA near the Metro Rail Transit terminal in Cubao \u2013 between Farmers Plaza and the Social Security System building \u2013 Duterte\u2019s Kitchen is feeding between 50 to 70 street children daily during breakfast, lunch and dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBefore, we only provide food for the street children, but now even hungry adults are also being attended to,\u201d Badon said.<\/span>
\n Duterte\u2019s Kitchen mostly serves free lugaw (rice porridge) and champorado (chocolate rice porridge) for breakfast, rice meal with vegetables, fish, adobong manok and baboy during lunch and dinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur staffs are volunteers who believe on the advocacy of extending help to the underprivileged people and bring hope and inspiration to them,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe food being served also depends on the donors. If we receive donated vegetables, chicken or pork meat, then we serve these to the street children, and even to the elders,\u201d Badon said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from the feeding program, Duterte\u2019s Kitchen also serves as a family center to the street children, where volunteers teach them to read and explain the value of education.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt provides street children the means to uplift their lives. We have programs that will equip them with knowledge like teaching them to read. We are family to them,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Badon, other Duterte\u2019s Kitchens will also be set up in other parts of the country soon to complement other programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and aimed at helping the less privileged. He is very hopeful that Duterte\u2019s Kitchen will soon become a comprehensive temporary shelter that will provide emergency medical services and feeding as well as basic education through the help of volunteers and donors.<\/span><\/p>\n
