Red tape at the DSWD is obstructing the distribution of cash assistance to poor families in the grip of the national health emergency, Deputy Speaker Luis Raymund Villafuerte Jr. said. | deejayapINQ

“The DSWD leadership appears bereft of any sense of urgency at this time when millions of poor and low-income Filipino families have been struggling to survive two weeks into the period of personal movement restrictions meant to slow the spread of COVID-19,” he said.

Villafuerte blasted the “intricate yet extraneous and avoidable requirements” imposed by the DSWD at three different stages of the emergency subsidy program : in the release of funds to local governments, identification of beneficiaries and actual transfer in the barangay. “What happens to barangays without available barcode encoders or those without barcode devices?” Villafuerte said.Asked when the emergency cash might be distributed, DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao on Wednesday gave no clear answer, saying only that the DSWD had already “downloaded” the SAC forms to the local governments.

In a separate interview with dzMM radio, Dumlao said the cash for Metro Manila beneficiaries would be about P3,000 and the rest of the P8,000 assistance they were entitled to would be in kind.She explained that “we want them to remain home,” which meant that, in the DSWD’s view, more cash would encourage people to leave their homes to buy food.

Bello did not specify how much of the amount went to the COVID-19 adjustment measures program for formal sector workers and the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers program for informal sector workers, such as tricycle and jeepney drivers and vendors.
