DSWD-7 Regional Director Shalaine Marie S. Lucero said each mobile kitchen ideally operates with around 18 personnel handling cooking, cleaning, food distribution, and inventory management.
The TUPAD workers serve as cooks, kitchen assistants, and dishwashers, while DSWD staff oversee coordination and logistics, including food delivery to remote areas. Some of the TUPAD beneficiaries are also residents affected by the recent earthquake.
