DSWD supports posting of SAP recipients in barangays
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has ordered all barangay officials to publicly post the master list of beneficiaries for the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) to ensure transparency and accountability in the distribution of financial aid.
This directive aims to address complaints of bias and manipulation in the selection of recipients by rogue barangay officials.
Residents can provide feedback on the posted lists, helping to identify potential beneficiaries who may have been overlooked.
The DILG also announced that families of barangay tanods and barangay health workers are now entitled to receive SAP benefits as recognition for their frontline services during the crisis.
As of April 18, 2020, the DSWD has distributed P6.773 billion in emergency subsidies to over 875,000 low-income households not part of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).
A total of P73.142 billion in SAP funds has been downloaded to local government units, with P16.3 billion distributed to over 3.7 million 4Ps beneficiaries.
The SAP is intended for low-income families and vulnerable sectors who have lost their income due to the enhanced community quarantine.
