“This measure not only alleviates the sufferings of our fellow Filipinos in this two-year global pandemic, it also helps solve the problem by encouraging science-backed vaccination and accelerating our achievement of herd immunity,” dagdag pa nito.
Batay sa House Bill No. 10644 ang naturang cash assistance program ay isasailalim sa DSWD.
