MANILA, Philippines — The Pasig City government on Wednesday continued its manual distribution of the P5,000 fuel subsidy for tricycle drivers for the second day on Wednesday, serving more than 2,000 beneficiaries as of 1 p.m. across two payout sites.
Pasig local officials told The Manila Times that 1,182 of the 1,500 target beneficiaries in Pineda village had received the cash aid, while 1,009 of 1,500 in Santolan village were also served as of midday.
The payout is being carried out in two venues, with one site in District 1 at Pineda village and another in District 2 at Santolan village, as the city aims to assist around 3,000 tricycle drivers on Wednesday.
Officials urged identified beneficiaries to claim their fuel subsidy on their scheduled payout date, noting that there is still no definite schedule for unclaimed assistance.
The distribution is being supervised by the Department of Social Welfare and Development under its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations or AICS program.
In Pasig, the DSWD is being assisted by the City Social Welfare and Development Office and the Tricycle Operation and Regulatory Office in conducting the manual payout.
