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.
