The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has appealed to the mayors and their respective city and municipal councils to tap into their savings or look for other funding sources to grant cash assistance to their constituents who are not included in the government's Social Amelioration Program (SAP).
The Department of Social Welfare and Development has appealed to the mayors and their respective city and municipal councils to tap into their savings or look for other funding sources to grant cash assistance to their constituents who are not included in the government’s Social Amelioration Program .
The 17 Metro Manila mayors earlier sought the restoration of their original number of target emergency aid beneficiaries, which is higher than the DSWD’s actual target. Amid criticisms expressed by netizens that the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program should not be included in the SAP, the department called on the public to “try to understand the plight of our poor brothers and sisters.”
“We understand the plight of salaried workers from the middle class who also need help. The government is looking into assistance for the middle-class sector.” It cited that the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases has enabled all government agencies to act as one for the good of all.
