Typhoon 'ayuda' funds available for download Wednesday--Palace exec
The national government will distribute P5,000 cash aid to families severely affected by Typhoon Odette, using a distribution system similar to the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).
Local government units (LGUs) will handle the distribution of the cash assistance, with oversight from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) is looking for a fund source, but promised the funds would be downloaded to LGUs by Wednesday, December 29.
LGUs, with the help of the DILG, will identify the most severely affected families.
This P5,000 cash assistance is separate from the P5,000 cash shelter assistance to be given by the National Housing Authority (NHA).
