Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 7) Local government units in Metro Manila and four adjacent provinces have started providing emergency subsidy this week to their residents as they continue to be under enhanced community quarantine.
Almost 23 million beneficiaries from low-income households in Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, and Rizal collectively known as the NCR Plus are expected to benefit from the government s social amelioration program.
Each qualified resident may receive cash or in-kind assistance of ₱1,000 each or up to a maximum ₱4,000 for a family. The amount is described as measly compared to the ₱5,000 to ₱8,000 worth of subsidy provided under the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act or Bayanihan 1 in 2020 amid the raging health crisis.

Two barangay officials in Pasay City on Saturday, March 6 advised the OCTA Research Group to double check their data first before releasing any statements to the public.
This was after a report by OCTA Research Group said that 128 new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases were recorded in Barangay 76 in the past week which is equivalent to 18 per day.
Rimel Ramiro of Barangay 76 Health Emergency Response Team, however, said the barangay has only 12 cases and has recorded four new cases in the past week.
“Maling mali po ang bilang na iyon. Hindi namin alam kung saan nakuha ng OCTA yun (The number is very much wrong. We don’t know where the OCTA got the said number),” Ramiro said.
