The Department of Social Welfare and Development said Wednesday it is considering administering its cash-for-work program for indigent residents in Albay whose livelihoods have been affected by Mayon Volcano’s unrest.

“Nasa pipeline na natin ang possibility ng pag-utilize ng ating cash-for-work program… [Ito’y] para mabigyan ng alternatibong pagkakakitaan o kabuhayan ‘yung apektado nating mga kababayan,” he said. In exchange for the work rendered, the recipients would be provided with cash to meet their requirement for food and other basic necessities.

tasked concerned government agencies to check if there is a need to provide families affected by Mayon’s restiveness with financial assistance“Sa pamamagitan ng ating cash aid, nae-empower natin ‘yung ating mga kababayan na sila rin ang bumili ng kanilang mga pangangailangan… It would be better kung ang kanilang mga pangangailangan na ang kababayan natin ang mag-procure at para mabalik ang dignity sa kanila sa ilalim ng kalamidad,” Lopez added.
