MANILA, Philippines — Barangay officials involved in the illegal subdividing of the government’s cash assistance among two or three families may face jail time or suspension, the Department of Interior and Local Government warned Saturday.
DILG Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said splitting the financial subsidy from the social amelioration program is in violation of Republic Act 11469 or “The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act,” which mandated the distribution of the aid to 18 million low-income families considered most vulnerable in the COVID-19 pandemic.
