Ang kabuuang halaga na naipamahagi ay umabot na sa P11.25 billion kung saan mahigit 11 milyong benepisyaryo ng NCR ang nakatanggap na ng ayuda mula sa pamahalaan,” Año said during a taped meeting of Cabinet members with President Rodrigo Duterte aired on Thursday.

Año said the Makati City local government unit is set to return to the Bureau of Treasury some P29.4 million provided by the national government for the distribution because all its listed beneficiaries have already received their cash assistance.

For the ECQ last month, each low-income individual is entitled to receive P1,000 assistance or a maximum of P4,000 for each household affected by the strict lockdown.
