The Department of Social Welfare and Development reveals that it has only distributed cash aid to 1.3 million beneficiaries out of its target of 12 million families for the second tranche of the emergency subsidy.
Only around 1.3 million beneficiaries have received the second tranche of the emergency cash subsidy from the Department of Social Welfare and Development out of its target of 12 million families. During a hearing Tuesday of the House Committee on Good Governance and Public Accountability, DSWD Chief Rolando Bautista shared to the panel that most of the beneficiaries of the program are low-income families residing in areas under enhanced community quarantine, as declared by Executive Order 112 issued on April 30.
Bautista said this includes some five million families who were waitlisted from the first tranche of the financial aid. “Habang hirap na hirap po ang ating mga kababayang nagugutom, a little over 10% lang po ang nabibigyan,”[Translation: While our countrymen are suffering and are getting hungry, only a little over 10% have been given ] The agency has consistently blamed the verification of the names of beneficiaries for the slow distribution of the emergency subsidy. Bautista said they have found 48,000 duplicated names. DSWD Undersecretary Danilo Pamonag also pointed out that some local government units were quick to comply with the requirements, while some barely followed. “As long as the names of the beneficiaries is completed, we could complete the distribution of emergency subsidy for a period of a week,” Pamonag said.
