00:00 The Department of Social Welfare and Development or DSWD
00:04 has already started the validation of 300,000 families
00:08 who were beneficiaries of the government's No Hunger Program.
00:11 In July, the full implementation of the Food Stamp Program
00:16 will be held in 21 provinces and 10 regions in the country.
00:20 The program is currently under pilot implementation.
00:24 It is limited to 5 locations and has 3,000 beneficiaries.
00:29 According to DSWD, President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr.
00:34 wants the Food Stamp Program to be not only for the hungry,
00:37 but also for those who can provide a healthy diet to the beneficiaries.
00:42 This February and March, we have gathered data that has a real impact.
00:49 We can see that the design of the food stamps is a bit forced.
00:56 Those who can eat healthy, those who can buy vegetables, protein, and carbs.
01:05 FNRI's Filipino plate is 50% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 20% healthy food.
01:13 So, it is really sure that they are eating healthy.
