ABOUT P23 billion worth of aid for Filipinos affected by a strict lockdown in the capital region and nearby provinces would be released to local governments starting Monday, according to the Interior and Local Government department.
The Treasury bureau would release the funds directly to local government units, Bernardo C. Florece, Jr., the agency’s officer-in-charge, told the ABS-CBN TeleRadyo at the weekend. The cash assistance should be given within 15 days, and 30 days if it is in kind, he said.
Each beneficiary will get P1,000, “provided that the assistance given to a family should not exceed the cap of P4,000,” the Social Welfare department said in a statement last week, citing the Budget department.
