00:00 The Food Stamp Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development is being made permanent.
00:06 The committee has approved the institutionalization of the program.
00:11 This means that the implementation of the Food Stamp Program will be required at any time.
00:18 The validation is also underway to increase the number of beneficiaries of the Food Stamp Program.
00:23 The DSWD targets 300,000 beneficiaries starting in July.
00:29 Using the card, they can buy food worth P3,000 from nearby stores.
00:36 We have approved P1.89 billion.
00:40 But this can only cover 100,000 beneficiaries.
00:44 We are requesting the DBM for additional funding to cover the 300,000 beneficiaries.
