DSWD begins 2nd tranche of cash aid with 4Ps beneficiaries
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) began the second phase of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) on June 11, with 1.3 million Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries receiving the first wave of cash aid.
The cash aid has been credited to the beneficiaries' accounts, and areas that have completed validation will receive the second tranche.
The DSWD received a total of P196 billion from the Department of Budget and Management for the first and second SAP tranches.
For the second phase, the DSWD needs P110.6 billion, and any unspent SAP funds and returned subsidies will be used.
Beneficiaries identified and paid by the Department of Agriculture and Department of Labor and Employment will receive top-up assistance from the DSWD if their initial aid did not reach the prescribed regional subsidy.
The second phase of SAP covers specific regions including NCR, CALABARZON, and others, with only 3.5 million of the 5 million waitlisted beneficiaries receiving the first and second tranches.
The DSWD expects more efficient distribution of the second wave of subsidies with the launch of the ReliefAgad application, alongside manual distribution in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) and conflict-affected areas.
