DSWD vows to complete SAP distribution by June 30
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) aims to complete the distribution of the second tranche of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) cash subsidies within June.
The DSWD is requesting continued logistical and health support from local government units (LGUs) for the payout process.
Coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Philippine National Police (PNP) is ongoing to expedite distribution, particularly in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) and conflict-affected regions.
Over 17.65 million low-income families have received approximately P99.8 billion in cash aid from the first tranche.
While all 5 million approved waitlisted beneficiaries will receive the first tranche, only 3.5 million of them will receive the second tranche.
The second tranche distribution will cover specific areas identified by Executive Order No. 112, Series of 2020.
Waitlisted beneficiaries will begin receiving their cash assistance this coming week, with the potential to receive both the first and second tranches.
The DSWD has also provided P745 million in assistance through its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program and distributed P6.04 billion in social pensions to over 2.01 million indigent senior citizens.
