Olivia Obrero Samson; DOLE Field Office -Manila Director Atty. Joel Petaca; at Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) representative Alyssa Taroy.
Ang FSP ay isa sa priority program ng Marcos administration na layong solusyunan ang food insecurity sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa mga beneficiaries na maka access sa monetary-based assistance at nutrition education upang maturuan kung paano maghanda ng ligtas at masustansyang pagkain para sa pamilya.
Malaking tulong din ito upang higit na maging productive citizens sa pamamagitan ng skills training at pakikiisa sa government-organized job fairs.
