As for the SAP, the Social Welfare and Development Officers are the focal persons in its implementation. To ensure the success of the distribution of cash assistance, your AFP and PNP, as well as other government agencies, will always jointly work with the Social Welfare personnel of the LGUs.”

Our government is doing all it can to end this health emergency. SAP is among the programs of our government to help us endure this emergency. It is important that all will contribute so that we will finally end this emergency. With everyone’s cooperation, we will heal as one,” Villarosa ended.
