These are the INSUMIX Feeding Program, One-Stop Shop and the MassKara Festival, a press release from city hall said.

To receive the awards at rites to be held at 7 p.m., today, at the Mabuhay Hall of the Manila Hotel will be Mayor Evelio Leonardia and his wife, Elsa, and Teresa Galon for the INSUMIX Feeding; Ardis Jaculina for the One-Stop-Shop; and Eli Tajanlangit for the MassKara Festival, the press release said.
