Climaco, now in her third and last term, said the financial aid to sectors severely affected by the health crisis is intended to help alleviate their plight amid the challenges posed by the pandemic.
“The financial aid we are giving to the people is also the people’s money, thus it should go back to the people in the form of financial assistance and projects and programs aimed at improving their welfare, their lives,” Climaco, who is running for congresswoman in District 1 in next year’s polls.
Also included in the LSAP are those who survived the deadly Covid-19 respiratory disease, receiving as much as P5,000 each. The cash aid covers only those who were infected with the virus starting June 1, 2021, as the 2021 Supplemental Budget 1, where the funds are taken, was approved only last June. The LSAP rollout for Covid-19 survivors started in August.
The distribution of cash aid is being facilitated by the City Social Welfare and Development Office with paymasters from the City Treasurer’s Office. LSAP covers different sectors affected by the pandemic. (Zamboanga Post)
