VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Tulfo’s proposed P20k cash aid NEEDS CONTEXT
Tulfo proposed a livelihood assistance for the beneficiaries of DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and not for every Filipino family.
Tulfo proposed a livelihood assistance for the beneficiaries of DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and not for every Filipino family.
Several Facebook (FB) pages uploaded a satirical graphic claiming that Senator-elect Alan Peter Cayetano turned back on his promise to provide a P10,000 ayuda (cash assistance) as if it were true.
The Duterte admin promised to provide a monthly subsidy of P500 to the poorest families amid rising oil prices in March. No news reports confirm such contribution in June.
This is misleading because solo parents or 4Ps beneficiaries are not outright recipients of the cash assistance. There are eligibility requirements under the DSWD guidelines for the Livelihood Assistance Grants (LAG).
