There should no longer be delays in the distribution of the cash aid to public utility vehicle drivers under the second tranche of the government’s social amelioration program , Senator Grace Poe said on Friday.The chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Services issued the statement as she pointed out the executive branch’s assurance that the distribution of the emergency subsidies under the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act will now be faster through an online application called “ReliefAgad”.
The senator noted the importance of the immediate cash aid to the PUV driver since public utility buses and jeepneys are not yet allowed to operate despite the relaxed community quarantine. According to President Duterte’s June 8 report to Congress, all 98,132 target PUV and transport network vehicle service drivers have received P785.056-million in cash aid for the first round of the SAP.
For the second tranche, Poe suggested that the DSWD and local government units tap drivers’ associations to vet the list of beneficiaries for a faster and orderly release of subsidies.
