The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has the names of 3.8 million poor families that will be part of the 5 million additional beneficiaries receiving cash aid from the government.
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said they would prioritize these additional beneficiaries in the P100-billion second tranche of the social amelioration program.
“We are just completing the 5 million additional names [of beneficiaries]. So far, we have received 3,818,608 names and these are the priority,” Año said. —Julie M. Aurelio
