Pasay City completes first tranche of SAP, reports 100 percent disbursement
Pasay City has completed the first tranche of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) with a 100 percent disbursement of the total downloaded fund amounting to P370,288,000.
A total of 46,286 beneficiaries received the cash aid, although the city initially aimed for 53,405 recipients.
Reasons for beneficiaries not claiming the subsidy included being senior citizens, persons with disability, under quarantine, or disqualified by the DSWD-NCR.
The city government faced challenges during distribution, including a reduction in social workers due to self-quarantine, prompting personnel reallocation.
Distribution of the SAP subsidy was conducted house-to-house for those unable to claim it personally.
