Some beneficiaries supposedly hoodwinked by rogue barangay officials of their cash grants under the social amelioration program (SAP) fear being harassed if they air their grievances.

Darwin Santos from a town in Bulacan said getting less than the lawful cash aid of P6,500 under the SAP is better than nothing.

Santos, an admitted reformed illegal drug user, says he knows too well that trumped up charges may easily be filed against him considering his past lawless activities. DILG Undersecretary for Barangay Affairs Martin Diño in an interview over GMA News said some local officials allegedly trooped to the residence of the complaining parties and dragged them to the barangay halls.

From an initial 2,000, Diño said his office now has received around 3,000 SAP-related complaints aside from the complaints on the alleged violence of authorities.
