Pasig City to provide cash aid for poor families excluded from DSWD's coronavirus crisis list

MANILA - Pasig City will provide about P8,000 each for some 113,000 families who were not included in the Department of Social Welfare and Development's list of cash aid beneficiaries, Mayor Vico Sot

MANILA - Pasig City will provide about P8,000 each for some 113,000 families who were not included in the Department of Social Welfare and Development's list of cash aid beneficiaries, Mayor Vico Sotto said Sunday.

"Lahat po ng hindi mabibigay sa listahan ng DSWD Social Amelioration Program, sasaluhin po ng Lungsod ng Pasig. Hindi sa buong halaga na P16,000 pero kung ano yung kaya, ibibigay natin," the mayor said. The amount of P8,000 per family may still change as the city government is still "studying its cash position," Sotto said.

"'Yung pera ng Pasig na nasa trust fund, ilalabas natin... Magsasakripisyo tayo, maghihigpit tayo ng sinturon, may mga programang kakanselahin muna natin," he said.
