Palace: Distribution of SAP2 expected to be completed this week
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque announced that the distribution of the second tranche of the social amelioration program (SAP2) is expected to be completed within the week.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has been working on a strict verification process to remove duplicate beneficiaries, with over 40,000 duplicates identified.
Some family-beneficiaries with duplicate aid have already returned the excess cash.
Waitlisted beneficiaries, who have undergone deduplication, are being prioritized in the distribution.
The DSWD has enlisted the help of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the on-site distribution of cash aid.
The SAP2 distribution began in Baguio City and has since expanded to various other areas across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including the NCR, Region III, Region IV-A, Albay Province, Iloilo, Bacolod City, Cebu Province, Zamboanga City, and Davao City.
