IN a bid to strengthen its partnership with local government units in the National Capital Region (NCR/Metro Manila) and Luzon, the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) is set to host its first LGU Forum on Tuesday, October 25, to present the agency's projects for FY 2023 and programs for its Urban Poor Solidarity Week (UPSW) in December this year.

PCUP chairman and chief executive officer, Undersecretary Elpidio Jordan Jr., said the forum will focus on expanding opportunities for the urban poor in partnership with LGUs in Metro Manila and Luzon which aims to increase awareness of the PCUP's programs and services that will enable urban poor communities to enhance their accessibility for a better life.
