By Chito Chavez The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Monday emphasized that the recipients of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) need not to fill up the Social Amelioration Card (SAC) forms since their cash subsidies under the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) Bayanihan Fund has been directly deposited to their Automated Teller Machine (ATM) accounts. DILG Secretary Eduardo Año (Photo from Philippine Information Agency / MANILA BULLETIN) DILG Secretary Eduardo Año (Photo from Philippine Information Agency / MANILA BULLETIN) DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año explained that the government’s emergency subsidy has already been credited to the ATMs of 3.732 million family-beneficiaries of the 4Ps all over the country. He accounted that the total disbursement for the 4Ps beneficiaries has reached P16.347 billion which was taken from the P200 billion allocated under the Bayanihan Act. Año noted that the 4Ps beneficiaries had already received their SAP Bayanihan Fund support through the system set up by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). “So tama po ang balita na di nyo na kailangan ang SAC forms sa kadahilanang mauuna kayong makatanggap ng SAP Bayanihan Fund (The news is right on the dot that you (4Ps beneficiaries) do not need to fill up the SAC forms since you already received your SAP Bayanihan Fund),” said Año. The DILG chief also stated that for 4Ps beneficiaries without cash card accounts, funds have been downloaded to the DSWD regional offices to facilitate the pay-out to family beneficiaries via manual means. The DSWD is now coordinating with the local government units in those areas for the scheduled release of their emergency subsidy in their localities. “The urgent matter now is to ensure that the other low-income families qualified under the SAP will be able to fill out the form and comply with the DSWD requirements so they too can avail (themselves) of the government support intended for them,” Año said. Based on the information from the DSWD, Año said 4Ps beneficiaries from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) can now withdraw their benefits from their cash cards for their financial subsidy under the SAP Bayanihan Fund. On Sunday, April 5, the poor families who are 4Ps beneficiaries from CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Regions 8, 10, 11, 12 and Caraga had received their cash aid through their Landbank ATM cash cards while 4Ps members from Regions 5, 6, 7 and 9 also got their financial subsidies last April 4. The first wave of cash subsidies was released last Friday, April 3 to the 4Ps recipients from the National Capital Region (NCR), Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Regions I, II, and III. The DSWD also said the cash aid is on top of the regular financial subsidy being received by the 4Ps in the form of cash and rice allowance. In Pasay City, some 161 members out of the 3,981 members of the Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association Federation of the city also received P8,000 cash assistance each under the SAP Bayanihan Fund.
