Malacañang on Monday apologized for the slow rollout of government assistance for those who had been displaced during the two-week enhanced community quarantine in the National Capital Region and four nearby provinces.
During his televised briefing, Spokesman Harry Roque sought public understanding, saying that the strict observance of protocols contributed to delays in the distribution of aid.
“Patuloy po natin ipapamahagi ang ayuda na P23 billion. Sa ngayon, P4 billion pa lang po ang naipamimigay. Kami ay humihingi ng paumanhin na kami ay may kabagalan. Sa panahon po kasi ng pandemya, hindi natin maiiwasan na mag-ingat dahil baka magkaroon ng COVID ang taumbayan,” explained Roque.
“The enemy thrives in yung kumpul-kumpulan. Talagang natutunan natin na mahirap ang pandemiyang ito na pati sa pag-distribute ng ayuda eh kinakailangan mag-observe ng social distancing dahilan kung bakit naantala ang pagbibigay ng ayuda,” he added.
The government’s latest financial assistance entitles each recipient to receive P1,000 or up to P4,000 per family either in cash or in-kind.
Beneficiaries of earlier social amelioration programs of the Department of Social Welfare and Development will be prioritized as beneficiaries of this cash aid.
