Following the messy distribution of educational financial assistance across the country, Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin ‘Benhur’ Abalos Jr. urged local government units to provide ample assistance to the Department of Social Welfare and Development in order to prevent the repeat of the incident.
DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo earlier called on the LGUs to help facilitate the distribution of the AICS educational cash aid after people came in droves to the DSWD Central and regional offices.Abalos stressed that the LGUs are not new to these kinds of financial aid distribution undertakings as he encouraged the localities to “step up and extend all the help that we can provide for the success of the distribution of financial aid to our students.
While LGUs will assist in the distribution of the financial assistance, Abalos insisted that “it will be the DSWD personnel and social workers, not local government personnel or barangays, who will give out the monetary aid.’’ Implemented by the DSWD, the AICS provides various protective services for vulnerable families, including education assistance to help defray the cost of tuition fees and school expenses. Under this program, elementary students from indigent families will each be provided with P1,000; high school students, P2,000: senior high school students, P3,000; and college students, P4,000.
