The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) assured the public on Wednesday that it is closely working with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to ensure the immediate release of the P5,000 to P8,000 emergency subsidy to the 18 million poor or low-income households.

DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao said the agency is exhausting all means to ensure that the emergency subsidy will be given to the beneficiaries affected by the enhanced community quarantine as mandated by Republic Act No. 11469 or the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act of 2020, which was signed by President Rodrigo Duterte last March 24.

She noted that the Department of Interior and Local Government issued a memorandum circular directing all LGUs to identify all their target beneficiaries and submit a master list “not later than April 3.” Deputy Speaker and Camarines Sur 2nd district Rep. Luis Raymund “LRay” Villafuerte lashed at the DSWD for supposedly imposing “cumbersome set of rules” on the release of emergency subsidy to the 18 million household-beneficiaries.

Signed by President Duterte last week, RA 11469 mandates that each low-income household shall receive an emergency subsidy ranging from P5,000 to P8,000 per month for two months, “in cash or in kind” from various national government agencies. Low-income households in the National Capital Region will receive the maximum subsidy of P8,000 under the Duterte government’s ESP, while those poor families in at least seven regions will receive the minimum subsidy of P5,000.
