The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has asked the public to
“actively monitor” the government’s implementation of the social amelioration program and report those who “abused” the subsidy initiative, whether they are local government officials or target beneficiaries.DSWD Secretary Rolando Bautista also appealed to the target beneficiaries for understanding, as the delivery of cash grants was delayed in the some areas, including those geographically-isolated municipalities and those with peace and order concerns.
He said the violators of the emergency subsidy program will be penalized as provided for by Republic Act No. 11469 or the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, which was signed by President Duterte last month. Bautista said the DSWD is closely coordinating with LGUs to study and map out ways on how to address the “shortcomings and gaps” in the distribution of the cash aid to 18 million low-income households.
“May mga munisipyo o city LGU na sinabi nila na tapusin muna ang Holy Week bago ipamahagi iyong ayuda,” Bautista noted.
