00:00The administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. promised a continued program
00:05for sufficient food for the poorest Filipinos.
00:09In fact, according to Malacanang,
00:11around 300,000 households, or 1,500,000 individuals,
00:16received assistance of P3,000 a month to buy food.
00:21The government studied the report of social weather stations
00:25that said that 27.2% experienced involuntary hunger or starvation.
00:32Aside from financial assistance,
00:34the Department of Social Welfare and Development also supports
00:37the Walang Gutom Kitchen,
00:39which provides hot meals or cooked food to low-income families in Pasay City.
00:46Aside from that, we also have the DSWD program.
00:52This is the Walang Gutom Project Cuisinero Cook-off Challenge
00:59to improve public nutrition.
01:02And there is also the Walang Gutom Project
01:05that provides eligible families with electronic benefit transfer.
01:09This is P3,000 monthly food credits.
01:14We will study where these so-called hungry Filipinos come from
01:25so that we can know where this place is.
01:28And if there is a shortage,
01:31we can reduce this kind of situation.
