90 percent of SAP beneficiaries in Pasay have received cash assistance
Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano announced that nearly 90 percent of the 46,286 Social Amelioration Program (SAP) beneficiaries have received their cash assistance.
The remaining 4,646 families are expected to receive their P8,000 subsidy by the extended deadline of May 10.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) had extended the SAP distribution deadline from May 7 to May 10.
To expedite distribution and ensure safety, the DILG and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) have eased distribution rules, including allowing distribution beyond curfew hours and enabling representatives to collect aid for senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs).
The Pasay City government has been conducting cross-matching of beneficiary lists to prevent duplication of aid.
The city implemented strict health and safety measures during distribution, utilizing various city hall departments despite challenges such as personnel on home quarantine.
