Solon wants additional benefits for solo parents

As the nation marks Solo Parents Week, a party-list member of the House of Representatives urged local government units to step up the implementation of additional benefits for single mothers and fathers, especially the grant of the P1,000 monthly subsidy to those earning minimum wage or below.

“With the Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act now being implemented in its second year, we hope that most LGUs, particularly those belonging to high-income cities and municipalities, have already complied with the provisions of this law,” added Yamsuan. The Expanded Solo Parents’ Welfare Act declares the third week and third Saturday of April as Solo Parents’ Week and National Solo Parents’ Day, respectively.
