00:00The DSWD assures that the ACAP or Ayuda para sa Kapos Ang Kita program will not be used in politics,

00:08especially now that there will be elections.

00:10This is part of a group's request in the 2025 National Budget.

00:15Tina Pangniban-Perez has the story.

00:21Almost 5 million Filipinos who are considered near-poor

00:26will benefit from the ACAP or Ayuda para sa Kapos Ang Kita program in 2024

00:32according to the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

00:35More than 26 billion pesos will be distributed,

00:38less than more than half a billion in allocation.

00:43The beneficiaries will receive P5,000

00:46which can be used as medical aid, food, shelter, or cash.

00:52To be included in the program, the income should be below the poverty threshold,

00:57but not yet a beneficiary of any government program.

01:01But for the many beneficiaries,

01:03there are those who ask if it is possible to use it in the upcoming elections.

01:08According to ACT Teachers Party List,

01:10the funding for social services should be added,

01:14including for education and health.

01:17This budget, as we said, is full of pork.

01:26The budget removed from PhilHealth should be received by the funds,

01:32including from DepEd and other education sectors.

01:40But for the House Appropriations Committee,

01:43ACAP is showing that it can use the government's funds without doubt.

01:50It is expected that DSWD, Department of Labor and Employment,

01:55and National Economic and Development Authority will meet on January 3

01:58to discuss the guidelines for the issuance of funds for ACAP.

02:04DSWD is now insisting that the program cannot be used in politics.

02:10Social workers and not politicians are blaming the applications

02:16of those who want to join the program.

02:18They are also saying how much the beneficiaries will receive.

02:23The district also has no allocation for ACAP.
