The city's supplemental SAP aims to help its residents not included in the national government's SAP.

According to the city's public information office, the LGBTQ partners who have children are qualified as long as the children's surname is under one of the parents.

Families will receive P8,000 cash each to help them support their needs amid the enhanced community quarantine.

The head of the family is required to provide photocopies of their valid ID during the door-to-door distribution.

As of Thursday, the confirmed cases in Pasig City has reached 376 with 103 recoveries and 61 deaths.
