SINABI ni Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) spokesperson at Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles na marami ng lokal na pamahalaan sa National Capital Region (NCR) ang nabigyan ng pondo para sa P8,000 ayuda para sa mga apektado ng lockdown sa Luzon dahil sa patuloy na banta ng coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
“A major component of government efforts to help our underprivileged families is its Social Amelioration Program. The DSWD recently gave an update on NCR releases of subsidies under the Emergency Subsidy Program, and reports that its NCR Field Office has already facilitated the issuance of checks for the month of April 2020 to the Metro Manila LGUs that have already completed their requirements,” sabi ni Nograles.
Idinagdag ni Nograles na kabilang sa mga LGUs na nabigyan na ng pondo ay mga sumusunod:
- Maynila – P1.48 bilyon
- Paranaque – P621.39 milyon
- Caloocan – P1.72 bilyon
- Marikina – P449.88 milyon
- Pasig – P750.93 milyon
- Quezon City – P3.02 bilyon
- Mandaluyong – P368.37 milyon
- Muntinlupa – P430.68 milyon
- Taguig – P739.97 milyon
“Parañaque has already begun distribution of the subsidies to target families beginning last Friday, while Manila began implementation on Monday,” dagdag ni Nograles.
“As of Monday, 16 Metro Manila LGUs have complied the requirements and are ready to implement the SAP before the Holy Week break, with one NCR LGU committing to comply with the requirements by April 7. Per the DSWD, all Metro Manila LGUs have committed to submit the list of families not included in the initial list of beneficiaries at the soonest possible time,” ayon pa kay Nograles.
