Unlike last weekend’s initial payout, the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said the second distribution event will be made at designated sites nationwide.
The DSWD now aims to avoid any chaotic line from last week’s distribution as the agency will prioritize those who registered online.
The distribution of educational cash assistance for poor students from DSWD would take place on Saturday, August 27.
Qualified recipients may receive P1,000 for elementary students, P2,000 for junior high school students, P3,000 for senior high school students, and P4,000 for college students or those taking vocational courses.
Three students per indigent family can avail of the educational cash assistance under the DSWD’s Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations program. This benefit, however, excludes those who are already getting help from the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, also known as 4Ps.
