hk blues Posted April 17, 2020 Posted April 17, 2020 I wonder about all of this. In our community we have had no money or aid as yet, and little or no sign of anyone actually identifying who should be getting something. I'd hate to be in need here in my location. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some of your answers are here Iloilo City to distribute P6-K amelioration fund on Friday By Perla Lena April 16, 2020, AMELIORATION PROGRAM. Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas shows the letter from the social welfare department informing him of the transfer of funds for the social amelioration program. In a phone interview, Teresa Gelogo, in charge of the field and program operations of the City Social Welfare and Development Office, said they would start distributing the aid on Friday (April 17, 2020). ILOILO CITY – The city government will begin distributing the PHP6,000 social amelioration fund on Friday, starting with 453 qualified beneficiaries in two villages here. In a phone interview, Teresa Gelogo, in charge of the field and program operations of the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), said they would release the assistance to 376 households in Barangay Punong, Lapuz and 77 qualified families in Barangay Magsaysay, City Proper. Iloilo City has 79,215 family beneficiaries. The cashier in charge of the collection will go to the barangays. The qualified recipients will be informed of the schedule by their barangay officials to avoid a crowd at the venue. “We have to practice social distancing,” Gelogo said. The recipients were told to bring a copy of their social amelioration card and a photocopy of their identification cards with three specimen signatures. If they do not have an ID, they have to secure a certification from their barangay and affix three specimen signatures. She added that the two barangays were the first to submit their "clean list" of recipients out of the city’s 180 barangays. The clean list refers to the final list of beneficiaries. The district head of the CSWDO and a staff of the regional office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) validate the names of SAP beneficiaries to make sure that members of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) are not in the list submitted by barangays. Gelogo urged other barangays to submit their initial list of validated beneficiaries so they can process the payroll for the amelioration fund. “We continue to process the payroll and we hope to release all before the last week of April,” she told the Philippine News Agency (PNA), adding that the CSWDO would continue with the processing even on Saturdays and Sundays to fast-track the release. Once it is done, they will have the fund liquidated so the amelioration fund for May would also be released. On Monday, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), in a letter addressed to Mayor Jerry P. Treñas, informed him of the transfer of PHP475,290,000 for the target beneficiaries. Treñas said the amelioration program would be a big help as it will be good for two months. In a press conference on Wednesday, he said the number is lower than the first target that was submitted by the DSWD of about 86,000 family beneficiaries. He said the city government will find a way to help those not on the new list. (PNA) https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1100030 Added from earlier news Quote He also lashed out at the DSWD for requiring local government units to submit by April 3 a list of target beneficiaries of the national government’s social amelioration program for those worst hit economically by the pandemic. Calling the April 3 deadline “stupid,” Treñas said LGUs were being required to come up with a list that would include informal settlers, drivers, construction workers, sari-sari store owners and those who lost their work and livelihood due to travel restrictions. “How can we come up with (that) list on or before April 3? That’s impossible,” he said. https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1252439/iloilo-city-mayor-decries-red-tape-delay-in-covid-19-aid-from-national-govt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AusExpat Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Just saw an artile the W.H.O. is recommending every country do a total alcohol ban - but I cannot remember the site I read and the search engines have not indexed it yet and of course thier site is useless. The reasoning given was alcohol lowers immunity and causes domestic violence. Edited April 18, 2020 by AusExpat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggybearman Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Here in Cagayan de Oro there have been instances of Barangay officials adding names of deceased people to the list of financial handouts! I am sure similar things are widespread. I hope they get a stiff prison sentence. Reality is probably they will be ‘re-deployed’ to a neighboring barangay! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
