Manila City gov't eyes distribution of second tranche of P1k-cash aid on May 20
The Manila City government is targeting to distribute the second tranche of P1,000 cash aid to around 607,000 families starting May 20.
A budget of P621 million has been allocated for this second wave of financial assistance.
The first tranche of the P1,000 cash aid was distributed in April to 568,000 families, with an initial budget of P591 million.
Additional funds were released for the first tranche after barangay officials submitted updated master lists of families who did not receive aid.
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno stated that the aid is intended to help residents cope with the ongoing crisis.
In addition to cash aid, public school students from Kinder to Grade 12 in Manila will receive food packs and hygiene kits within May.
