MANILA, Philippines -- Senator Edgardo Angara is seeking an update from the Department of Social Welfare and Development on the implementation of the conditional cash transfer.
In an interview with Radyo Inquirer Thursday, Angara said the public should be kept abreast of how the program was being implemented to determine if the P21 billion allocated was going to the rightful beneficiaries.
Under the cash transfer program, poor families will receive a maximum of P1,400 each provided that mothers undergo regular check-up and their children attend school.
The program targets some 1.3 million beneficiaries this year. (report from Inquirer.net / DZIQ-Radyo Inquirer)
