00:00 About 3,000 families in Tondo, Manila,

00:03 Shargao, Isabela, Cabarinesur, and Maguindanao

00:06 are included in the food stamp pilot program

00:09 of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

00:11 Under Executive Order No. 44,

00:14 the No Hunger 2027 is one of the flagship programs

00:18 of the government that was started last July in Tondo.

00:22 It will continue until the middle of next year.

00:26 According to DSWD Undersecretary Eduardo Punay,

00:30 the data they get from the program is of great help,

00:34 especially when they address the primary needs of Filipino families.

00:38 The program has an allocation of P3,000 per family.

00:42 Half of it can be used to buy carbohydrates

00:46 like rice and bread,

00:48 while the rest can be used to buy food with protein,

00:52 fruits and vegetables.

00:53 Punay added that even though the amount is not that big,

00:57 DSWD is willing to not just leave the beneficiaries

01:01 in the program to be dependent.

01:03 The government has limited resources.

01:07 This is just a supplementary meal.

01:22 We have an anti-medicancy.
