To prevent overcrowding in public places, the Caloocan government has launched different “on wheels” initiatives for its residents. These projects will also help residents get their necessities without having to travel far from their homes. So far, Caloocan has launched a mobile palengke (market), mobile botika (drug store), and a mobile ATM.
