Duterte Legacy: Gov’t response on the marginalized

He also signed the Executive Order No. 137 or the AHON program, which aims to accelerate and harmonize aid and humanitarian operations of the national government during disasters and emergencies.

It is also under his administration that the RA No. 11310 or the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) has been signed into law. NGS-rir
