5M more households to get 2nd tranche of coronavirus cash aid – Malacañang memo
Malacañang has ordered the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) to include an additional five million households in the government's emergency cash aid program.
These five million households will be added to the existing 12 million beneficiaries already receiving aid under the Department of Social Welfare and Development's (DSWD) Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program.
The memo also specifies that while most beneficiaries will likely come from areas under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), households significantly affected by restrictions in General Community Quarantine (GCQ) areas can also be considered.
This directive aims to expand the coverage of the second tranche of the Social Amelioration Program to provide further support to families impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
