The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has approved the release of P1.684 billion in quick response funds (QRF) to the Departments of Agriculture (DA), Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).
The largest portion, P1 billion, is allocated to the DA for recovery efforts and as a contingency for agricultural recovery, particularly in anticipation of future disasters and Super Typhoon Uwan.
Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman stressed the significant damage of typhoons and disasters to agriculture, especially affecting farmers and fisherfolk.
She explained that the DA's request to replenish its QRF was immediately approved in preparation for upcoming weather disturbances.
The DSWD received P631.023 million to replenish its 2025 QRF, which will fund relief goods and emergency cash transfers for affected families.
