For Fatima Limagan, 35, mother of four from Brgy. Nunguan, the COVID-19 pandemic during the Holy Month of Ramadan made farming rice difficult for her and her husband.

“Ang kita namin po sobrang liit, di na namin napagkakasya sa pang-araw-araw namin. Nagpapasalamat kami ng malaki sa Bangsamoro government sa ayudang ito. Malaking tulong po ito sa pagkain namin araw-araw lalo na ngayong Ramadan,” said Fatima.
