Sinimulan nang i-distribute ang P1,000 na cash assistance sa mga indibidwal na naapektuhan ng ipinatupad na enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) sa NCR Plus, batay sa Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ngayong araw, Abril 7.
Ayon kay DSWD Spokesperson Irene Dumlao, "We have full trust on our local chief executives, on our local government units that they would be able to distribute the assistance to their constituents within the prescribed period."
Kabilang ang Maynila, Parañaque at Caloocan sa mga nagsimulang mamahagi ng ayuda sa nasasakupang barangay.
Paliwanag pa ni Dumlao, nu’ng nakaraang linggo pa nila hiningi sa bawat local government unit (LGU) ang listahan ng mga benepisyaryo.
Aniya, "This serves as a reference to the local government units. They still have the full discretion in identifying who will be identified and prioritized, provided of course they would follow adhere to the provisions of the guidelines where it was stipulated that priority will be given to low-income sector, including of course the beneficiaries of SAP."
Tinatayang 15 araw ang ibinigay na palugit ng Department of Budget and Management (DBM) sa bawat LGU upang ipamahagi ang cash na ayuda at 30 days naman kung in-kind goods ang ipamimigay.
