The cash aid (ayuda) distribution for the qualified recipients in Metro Manila will possibly begin on August 6, Department of the Interior and Local Interior (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año said on Wednesday, August 4.
In an interview over ABs-CBN’s TeleRadyo, Año said that about P11.2 billion has been allotted for the financial aid in the National Capital Region (NCR) which was placed under the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) from August 6 to 20 to prevent the transmission of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) Delta variant.
“Siguro pagpatak ng ating ECQ pilitin nating masimulan na yan (ayuda distribution) (Maybe it will be given at the start of the ECQ begins, we will try to start distribution),’’ Año said.
