Board Member Nancy Corazon Bacurnay, principal author said that the ordinance has been approved under the principle of transparency wherein the review and checking of the veracity of the profiling of recipients will be a deterrent measure in avoiding duplication of granting of amount under the SAP and also the said list could be used as the basis for further social programs granted by the government.

The subsidy shall amount to a minimum of P5,000.00 to a maximum of P8,000.00 per month for two months for basic food and medicine.
She added that DILG Advisory dated April 3, 2020 on the implementation of SAP and other PPA’s against COVID-19 provides to adopt full disclosure policy in the releasing of the list of target beneficiaries, including the posting in public and conspicuous places the names of the beneficiaries listed.
Non-compliance by the concerned officials shall be a ground for the filing of administrative case without prejudice to the imposition of other applicable penalties provided under Republic Act 11469, otherwise known as the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act and other laws, rules and regulations.
“Rest assured that all your Provincial Government officials are here working for you. Keep safe and stay healthy always,” BM Bacurnay added.
