This assistance of five tons of mackerel is a follow-up to the request of the Bogor City Government to meet the community's food intake during the implementation of this Emergency PPKM.
"Today we gave five tons of fish, hopefully in the future, we can provide more assistance. We will try to find CSR (corporate social responsibility) from fishery entrepreneurs," he said.
