P73.7-B downloaded to LGUs for social amelioration: DSWD
« on: April 26, 2020, 10:03:55 AM »
MANILA -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on Monday said it has downloaded PHP73.766 billion to various local government units for the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) of the government amid the ongoing enhanced community quarantine.

DSWD Undersecretary for Special Concerns Camilo Gudmalin said the figure, as of 8 p.m. of April 19, is a running data.

“Our database is online and it changes from time to time as field offices are encoding data as it arrives,” Gudmalin said in a message.

In an email sent to the Philippine News Agency, data showed that the Calabarzon region posted the highest number of beneficiaries with 1,880,617.

Of the PHP73.766-billion budget, the region received a PHP12.208-billion fund.

DSWD-Calabarzon posted on their Facebook the updates of the constituents who have availed of the emergency subsidy.

Esmeraldo Casajeros from Barangay Poblacion 2, Ternate in Cavite was among the 2,100 beneficiaries of the SAP who received PHP6,500.

Casajeros qualified as a beneficiary after the social workers reviewed his background being a farmer who gets paid with 10 kilos of rice every harvest.

He and his two children who work in a hardware shop do not have any source of income as the enhanced community quarantine halted all their operations.

Data from DSWD also showed that there are already 4,886,083 beneficiaries who already received their subsidy as of 8 p.m. of April 19.

Of this number 1,164,250 are non-4P’s beneficiaries while 3,721,833 4P’s beneficiaries received their subsidy through their cash cards.

Cash aid amounting to PHP3,650 to PHP6,650 per beneficiary was credited to their Landbank cash cards.

Together with the DSWD, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation and Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Landbank started distributing to 18,602 Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) drivers in the National Capital Region amounting to PHP148.816 million with each driver receiving PHP8,000 to help tide them over in these difficult times.

Under the COVID-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), a total of PHP1.2 billion in financial assistance will be released to an initial batch of 250,000 beneficiaries from 2,773 private companies at PHP5,000 per worker.

Landbank has already started releasing to the workers from the National Capital Region.

It is also working with DOLE on the cash assistance for displaced land-based and sea-based OFWs due to the pandemic under the DOLE AKAP for OFWs Program. (PNA)
