(OPS / MANILA BULLETIN) Presidential spokesman Harry Roque made the explanation after it was revealed during his Monday press briefing that there was no change in the number of beneficiaries paid under SAP2 since it started last week. According to Roque, the distribution of the cash aid was taking a while as the DSWD was still validating the list of beneficiaries after discovering that there were duplicates. "Inaayos lang po yung (They are just settling the) issue on duplication of beneficiaries. 'Yan po ang nagpapatagal (That is what's causing the delay)," he said. The Palace official, however, assured that the distribution of SAP2 will be faster once the deduplication process is completed since most subsidies will be transferred electronically. "'Pag natapos na po itong proseso na tinatawag nilang deduplication, mapapabilis na po ang proseso (It will be smooth sailing once the deduplication process is over)," Roque said. "Dahil automated po ang paglipat ngayon ng mga pondo (Now that the transfer of the subsidy is automated), it will only take two days," he added DSWD Undersecretary Rene Paje said revealed on Friday that the agency found 22,000 duplicate beneficiaries in its list of recipients of SAP2. Roque reported last week that 1.3 million families who are beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) were already paid. He said the distribution of the subsidy program started in Baguio City for the families who were left out from the first tranche or were waitlisted. The 5 million additional families will likewise be included in the second tranche of the SAP. The following areas are included in the distribution of the second tranche of the cash aid:
  1. Benguet
  2. Pangasinan
  3. Region III (except Aurora Province)
  4. NCR
  5. Region IV-A
  6. Albay Province
  7. Iloilo
  8. Bacolod City
  9. Cebu Province
  10. Zamboanga City
  11. Davao City
It was announced late last month the distribution of the second tranche of the cash subsidy would be automated. The DSWD has tapped the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the on-site distribution of cash aid. According to Roque, President Duterte believes that the process will be expedited with the deployment of law enforcers.
