Caraga completes P1.5-B SAP distribution: DSWD
The Caraga region has successfully distributed the government's emergency subsidy to all 305,096 targeted low-income families not enrolled in the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).
A total of P1.525 billion was disbursed by the 73 local government units (LGUs) in the region, with each eligible family receiving P5,000.
This financial aid was intended for families whose livelihoods were impacted by the enhanced community quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The efficient implementation was attributed to close coordination among local social welfare offices, barangay officials, purok leaders, and DSWD-Caraga personnel.
LGUs utilized social media and public announcements to inform residents about the cash aid and also established hotlines for inquiries.
The distribution process also involved coordination with the police, military, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government to ensure safety, order, and reach remote areas.
