The PH government through DSWD is set to provide PHP 1000 as financial assistance to low-income families through the extended Targeted Cash Transfer (TCT) program. This program, which was recently announced by Department of Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno, will grant two-month ayuda cash grants of PHP500 each to approximately 9.3 million households across the country in an effort to mitigate the effects of inflation and help those most affected by it.

To further aid Filipinos struggling with rising prices due to the global oil price surge, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. also announced additional subsidies such as fertilizer discount vouchers, fuel discounts for farmers and fisherfolks, and fuel subsidies for transport sectors affected by high fuel costs.

These measures are expected to help relieve economic pressure on citizens who are considered the poorest of the poor, including Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries and workers earning below minimum wage as well as indigent senior citizens.

DSWD PHP 1000 Inflation Ayuda Cash Assistance for Low-Income Filipinos

Aside from the cash grants, Secretary Diokno also mentioned that the government has taken steps toward improving tax collections so that it can have additional funds for this program which will be implemented soon.

Furthermore, President Marcos formed an inter-agency committee called Inter-Agency Committee on Inflation and Market Outlook which is co-chaired by Diokno and National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan. The committee focuses on addressing issues related to inflation and its effects on market outlook while overseeing government responses to rising prices.

The Inflation Ayuda Cash Assistance Program is a vital step in helping low-income Filipino families cope with increased expenses due to inflation. It provides much-needed financial support while creating awareness about the impact of high prices on various sectors of society affected by it most acutely. Moreover, it helps reduce social inequality since it targets those most vulnerable members of society who do not have access to adequate resources or protection against economic hardship brought about by increasing prices.
