"The commune approved and allocated an estimated budget of more than VND 8.436 billion from the provincial budget allocated for a specific purpose under Decision No. 1064/QD-UBND dated August 30, 2025 by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for localities to provide gifts to residents on the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day," Le Hoang Son emphasized.

At the same time, the Long Thanh commune Party Committee and authorities directed the commune Police to guide residents with VNeID accounts to receive the gifts electronically.

Although preparations had been carefully made even during the holiday, the network system connected to VNeID accounts was overloaded and congested due to the particular circumstances of the holiday period. Therefore, Long Thanh commune instructed the issuance of paper forms for residents to fill out and return to the communal police, who would enter the data and confirm it so that residents could receive gifts as quickly as possible.

By the afternoon of September 1, the Long Thanh commune Police had processed lists covering more than 2,000 households with 6,999 individuals whose bank accounts were linked to VNeID for transfers.

Nguyen Xuan Huy, 72, of Phuoc Hai hamlet, Long Thanh commune, said: Receiving the payment from the Party and the State on National Day was profoundly meaningful.

"Though the gift is modest in value, it reflects the care of the Party and the State for the people. This continues to affirm that, in all circumstances, the Vietnamese people remain united and confident, standing alongside the Party and the State in building the homeland and the nation in the new era," Huy shared.

Not only in Long Thanh commune, many localities across the province, also organized the distribution of the Government's gifts to residents.
