WHAT WE’RE COVERING — Talay Gymnasium, Aug 17: 2,230 beneficiaries at 10 kilos each, 250 scholars at ₱20,000 each — Metro Manila the same afternoon: red rainfall warning, 201.7mm in five hours, 27 monsoon deaths — DILG Memorandum Circular 2026-006 and the anti-epal campaign — Section 20 of the 2026 GAA (RA 12314) — and the exemption that likely covers the President — Where the rice money comes from: LGSF ₱57.872B, FALGU ₱37.492B, roughly half earmarked for rice — Why “soft pork” is the phrase governance advocates keep using — The ₱56-billion flood control investigation and what it has to do with a 10-kilo sack We’re not here to tell anyone in that line they were wrong to take the rice.
