The Pasay City government is speeding up the delivery of financial assistance from the national government of P1,000 per person or P4,000 per family to about 123,000 approved beneficiaries of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano said the city government, as of April 13, had already finished the distribution of financial assistance to about 6,991 beneficiaries coming from 17 barangays.
Rubiano said the 17 barangays were 162, 196, 104, 123, 36, 33,51,159, 175, 177, 200, 146, 188, 201, 141, 142, and 143.
She added that 2,902 heads of families already received the P1,000 up to P4,000 financial assistance from the national government.
The mayor said the city government will finish the distribution of the financial aid to 4,089 heads of families on Wednesday, April 13.
Rubiano said the city government is also conducting payout of the financial assistance to qualified beneficiaries even at night because local government units were given only 15 days to finish the distribution based on the implementing rules and regulations (IRR).
She said the city government received a total funding of P348 million from the national government for the cash aid.
