The DSWD began distributing emergency cash transfer payouts to victims of the combined effects of Super Typhoon EgayPH and the southwest monsoon in the Ilocos region. | JMangaluzINQ

Family beneficiaries of the ECT are still being reviewed and validated by the DSWD Field Office 1 and Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office.

Gatchalian first visited Ilocos Norte last July 29, 2023, wherein he promised that emergency cash transfers would follow not long after the government’s initial provisions of family food packs. Aside from the ECT program, the DSWD chief said there is also the cash-for-work that can run for 30 to 45 days and will provide alternative livelihood to affected residents as part of their early recovery and rehabilitation after the calamity.

“Part of the President’s instruction is for the DSWD to enable the early recovery and rehabilitation of affected families and individuals through the provision of emergency cash transfer and cash-for-work, which will start soon,” the Secretary explained. —
