Also included, according to Lopez, in his priority is the granting of honoraria and other benefits for barangay health workers and village watchmen who are both frontliners in this time of COVID-19 pandemic.

“Nararapat lamang na kilalanin ang kahalagahan ng kanilang papel na ginagampanan bilang frontliners sa panahon ng pandemya,” Lopez, son of the late Manila Mayor Mel Lopez, stressed.

Lopez is the official candidate of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. whose running mate is vice presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte

He shared that some cities in the National Capital Region (NCR) like Quezon City have been giving honoraria to health workers and village watchmen.

Lopez expressed belief that Manila City has enough funds to grant honoraria for the concerned workers.

He also said that his leadership will prioritize the procurement of medicines needed to battle the pandemic.

It was learned from Lopez camp that the mayoralty aspirant was endorsed by the Nacionalista Party (NP), Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), Partido ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan (PDDS) and other political parties.
