00:00 The government's efforts to curb hunger in the country are continuing.
00:04 According to Social Welfare and Development Undersecretary Edu Punay,
00:08 the agency is preparing the full implementation of the Food Stamp Program of the current administration.
00:14 In fact, they are already in the validation process for the estimated 300,000 beneficiaries
00:20 before the full implementation in July.
00:22 The ATM card will be given to beneficiaries who have a 3,000 food credit.
00:27 It will be used to buy food within a month.
00:32 For now, the pilot implementation of the program is being carried out in five locations
00:37 with 3,000 beneficiaries.
00:39 This February and March, we have data that is gathering and it really has an impact.
00:46 We can see that in the design of the food stamps, they are a bit forced to eat healthy,
00:55 they only buy vegetables, protein and carbs.
01:02 The Filipino food of FNRI is 50 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein and 20 percent healthy food.
01:10 That's why they are sure that what they eat is healthy.
