00:00And good afternoon to my partner, long time no see, Yusek Edu.

00:06Yes, good afternoon to you, partner, and to our viewers in Bagong Pilipinas.

00:11It's good to be back after a little while.

00:14We missed you. That was, well, a little while.

00:18Well, we want to hear about your updates because it's good that you're going to tell us.

00:23I know you've been so busy. I've been following you, news reports about you and on social media.

00:29Really going around the Philippines.

00:31And can you give us an update on your Walang Gutom food stamp program here at DSWD?

00:38Yes, partner, that's right. We've been going around the country,

00:41implementing a lot of new programs of the administration.

00:44DSWD has a lot of good new programs under the administration of President Bongbong Marcos.

00:50And one of them is our Walang Gutom 2027 food stamp program of DSWD

00:56where we provide assistance through food provision or food credits to our people who are poor or food-poor families.

01:07And like you said, we have good news because our scaled-up national implementation of the food stamp program

01:15that President Bongbong Marcos announced at his State of the Nation address this July has already started.

01:21And our target this year, from the pilot implementation last year of 3,000 households target,

01:28this year, our target will be 300,000.

01:31And so far, the past two to three months, we have registered 150,000-plus household beneficiaries

01:39in 10 regions and 22 provinces nationwide.

01:44Of these 150,000 household beneficiaries, more than 50,000 are the ones we started giving food credits,

01:55our monthly redemption of Php 3,000 per month.

02:00And we can see here on our screen, our sites,

02:05these are our implementation sites for the first year implementation of the food stamps program,

02:10including 10 regions and 22 provinces nationwide.

02:14As you can see, it includes our priority areas, concentration here in the BARM area

02:20because there is the highest rate of malnutrition and food insecurity in our country.

02:28There is a problematic area.

02:30So that's where we are targeting first.

02:32As you said, partner, I often see in Mindanao because these are our priority areas for the food stamp program.

02:39So let's go backtrack so we can remember this food stamp again.

02:43I haven't heard it for a long time because you're not here.

02:46So these are the food stamps.

02:48How much, again, you said Php 3,000 per family of how many?

02:52And how long will it last?

02:53Yes.

02:54When a family beneficiary gets onboarded, they'll be given Php 3,000 food credits per month.

03:02They'll be given Php 3,000 food credits per month to buy food for their family's needs.

03:12And this will last in the program for three years.

03:16So we're doing a very tediously designed system and mechanism where we measure that.

03:24Partner, from the start, we have a baseline, midline, and endline

03:28so that we can see the impact of the program on them.

03:31It's not just an experiential survey, a family insecurity survey,

03:36it includes anthropometric measurements.

03:39What is that?

03:40We really measure the physical measurements of our pregnant and lactating women and even children.

03:49You know, our program is the No Hunger Flagship Program Administration.

03:54This is a whole-of-government approach, partner, as you may recall.

03:57We have the Department of Health, DOLE, TESDA, and various government agencies for its implementation.

04:05So, as I mentioned, the anthropometric measurements,

04:08we also have the DOH for their experts, the barangay health scholars and nutritionists

04:17who measure the body weight, BMI, body mass index of our beneficiaries.

04:27That program is really good.

04:29It's really different when it comes to addressing the problem of malnutrition.

04:34Sometimes, we don't see a lot of words, a lot of numbers,

04:38but once you see the faces of those who are really food poor,

04:42we know that they really need this.

04:45So, we wish you all the best for this No Hunger Program.

04:49Thank you, partner.

04:50Thank you very much, Eusebio Edo, for sharing your update with us from DSWD.
