DSWD Gives Update on Cash Distribution Under Social Amelioration Program

Update on DSWD Cash Distribution of Subsidy Under Social Amelioration Program

DSWD – The Department of Social Welfare and Development gave an update on the cash distribution under the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).

A lot of people were affected by the quarantine implemented over the coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak in the Philippines. However, the limiting of movements is visibly really needed to protect everyone from the virus.

The entire Luzon now is under an Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). Several provinces in Mindanao and Visayas are also implementing the ECQ as well.

In line with the fight against the spread of coronavirus in the country, several businesses temporarily stopped their operations and many no-work-no-pay employees lost their monthly income. Also, undeniably, there are a lot of families in the country falling below the poverty line.

To help the people, the government launched the Social Amelioration Program that will provide cash subsidies to millions of Filipino beneficiaries. The said program is under the DSWD.

Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, the DSWD said that as much as P22 billion were released by the department. It was already distributed to 4.7 million beneficiaries of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).

Also, over P6 million were released for the more than one (1) million non-beneficiaries of the 4P’s. Some 40,000 public utility vehicle drivers in the National Capital Region (NCR) will be receiving subsidies as P323 million were released by the department for it.

Based on the report, the DSWD has also released the P74.5 billion fund for the local governments in the country. According to Social Welfare Secretary Camilo Gudmalin, aside from the emergency subsidy, they also sent augmentation assistance to LGUs.

The Department has also started with the giving of assistance to the senior citziens. Pensioners from CARAGA and Cordillera Administrative Region were given P3,000.00 for the first semester of 2020.
