Teams from the Angeles City Social Welfare and Development Office, led by Edna Duaso, and Angeles City Barangay Outreach, headed by Michael Lising, conducted reach-out operations to families and children, ‘batang solvent’, and members of the indigenous community identified as street dwellers and who practice mendicancy.

The operation, which was led by Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel and Chief Adviser IC Calaguas, was in enforcement of the Anti-Mendicancy Law of 1978, which states that giving alms to the needy people who take to the streets is not the right way to help them, but instead, it would only lead to the ballooning of the number of families and children in street situation along major streets in the country.
