The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has distributed 215,254 Family Food Packs (FFPs) worth P82.34 million nationwide to augment relief assistance provided by local government units (LGUs) during the enhanced community quarantine.
The National Capital Region received the largest share of FFPs with 88,850 packs, followed by Bicol, Calabarzon, Davao, and Central Luzon.
The total cost of relief assistance reached P2.97 billion, with the DSWD contributing P82.34 million, LGUs providing P2.86 billion, and other sources including NGOs contributing the remainder.
DSWD reported having P1.38 billion in stockpiles and standby funds to ensure continued aid.
Each FFP is designed to support a family of five for two days and contains essential food items such as rice, sardines, and corned beef.
The DSWD reiterated its commitment to timely delivery of relief goods and clarified that its logo is placed on FFP boxes for identification, not on individual canned goods.
