The city has 27,906 qualified beneficiaries.
"For this week, we intend to distribute the P1,000-P4,000 cash aid to 10,309 Navoteño families. We have set up five distribution venues to ensure that everyone will be accommodated and served promptly,” Mayor Toby Tiangco said.
“We have posted in our social media account the partial list of beneficiaries in the masterlist. We will also post regular updates on how many have received their cash assistance,” he added.
Included in the first batch of beneficiaries were residents of Barangays Bagumbayan North and South, Bangkulasi, Navotas East and West, San Jose, San Roque, Tanza 1, and Tanza 2.
Waitlisted SAP beneficiaries, solo parents, and persons with disabilities also received the ECQ cash aid.
