Hi good day, nais ko lang po isanguni sa inyo bakit po hindi ako kabilang sa mga nabibigyan ng SAP. Base po sa pagkakaalam ko po ay, kung stranded employee sa isang lugar ay mabibigyan ka po. Pero unang wave wala po. Hindi nga din po nagbabahay bahay ung mga opisyal ng brgy dito sa amin. Salamat po. Sana po ay matugunan niyo po ito.
