LGUs should immediately account for the cash aid they distributed to low income families before they can get the second round of funds for the social amelioration program.
“Unless the LGUs liquidate what they distributed using the social amelioration funds, there won’t be a second round for them. Because no additional funds will be given to the LGU unless it submits a liquidation report,” said Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases spokesperson and Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles.
In a virtual press briefing on Monday, Nograles admitted that there were concerns about the prompt distribution of the P200-billion cash aid for 18 million low-income families for two months.
