GENERAL TRIAS CITY, Cavite Jun 6 (PIA) --Some 330 of the 44,373 beneficiaries of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Social Amelioraton Program (SAP) returned the P6,500 cash aid they received.
City Social Welfare & Development Officer Rebecca Generoso reported that their office received more or less Php2,145,000.00 returned SAP payout under the partial list of the SAP aid report released Wednesday, June 3, 2020.
"Every day, there are people coming to our office to return the money from the SAP payout, because according to them they already received their SSS assistance and that they don't want to be charged or penalized for keeping the money," Generoso explained.
Further investigation revealed some of the people who returned the SAP aid were either unqualified beneficiaries or already received assistance from the national government like subsidies from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and Social Security System (SSS).
"Di pa po final count ito, every day may nagsosoli po ng SAP, we re-evaluate again for the new set of beneficiaries, yun pong mga qualified na hindi nabigyan sa first tranche," Generoso added.
("This is not the final count yet, everyday there are people that come to the office and return the SAP, we re-evaluate again for the new set of beneficiaries, those who are qualified but were not included in the first tranche of the SAP payout.")
