The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will distribute financial assistance to indigent students every Saturday until September 24, Secretary Erwin Tulfo announced Thursday. READ:
During a Palace briefing, Tulfo said the DSWD will give out P1,000 for elementary students, P2,000 for high school students, P3,000 for senior high school students, and P4,000 for college students or vocational courses.“This program is under the Assistance for Individuals in Crisis Situation,” Tulfo added.
“Now, who are qualified? All children living in poverty. Not only children of solo parents,” he said, later adding that beneficiaries of the 4Ps program are also qualified. “The question is, how will we know? We are hoping that only indigents will avail of this. Maybe those with money will not line up for six hours just to get money for uniforms and school supplies,” he said.
