Lucena City - Mayor Roderick “Dondon” A. Alcala, together with Vice Mayor Philip M. Castillo and Partido Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) has launched Duterte’s Kitchen in Lucena City, Quezon Province last March 15, 2017, located at Brgy. Ibabang Dupay, Lucena City.
Duterte’s Kitchen was said to be inspired by a project of President Rodrigo Duterte when he was still mayor of Davao City. Duterte’s Kitchen propelled its first outlet in Cubao, Quezon City last October 2016.
According to PDP-Laban national executive Director Glen Badon, Duterte’s kitchen is the idea of House Speaker Pantaleon, in accordance with President Rodrigo Duterte’s national feeding program advocacy for the homeles , primarily aimed at ending hunger and to fight malnutrition in the country. With the slogan “Wala Nang Matulog Ng Gutom (No One Will Sleep Hungry),”
