According to Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman, the project will provide direct financial support to 582,000 of the country’s poorest families, including those living in remote areas.
She said that unlike traditional welfare programs, only families who keep their children in school and ensure that children and pregnant women get regular health check-ups can receive the cash grants.
