The DOE said on Thursday that only 12,900 Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and other qualified marginalized household beneficiaries have registered to avail of the lifeline rate program as of end-July. READ MORE:
Government agencies–including the Energy Regulatory Commission , the Department of Energy , and the Department of Social Welfare and Development –deferred the rollout of the new lifeline subsidy program for poor consumers to September 1 due to the low turnout of registrants.
“The names of the 4Ps beneficiaries were already submitted to the distribution utility. They just need to accomplish the forms,” Baltazar said, adding that those not on the 4Ps list need to secure certification from the local social welfare office. Qualified members of the government’s 4Ps and the marginalized can enjoy discounts on electricity bill if their consumption does not exceed 100kwh per month.
