President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. instructed the Department of Social Welfare and Development to come up with innovative programs to combat and end hunger and poverty in the country even before the recent Social Weather Station survey on hunger and poverty was released.
The latest SWS survey showed that nearly half or 48 percent of Filipino families rated themselves as poor during the third quarter of the year. “This is the reason why the DSWD came up with the Food Stamp Program , which was designed primarily to alleviate the lingering incidence of food poverty and malnutrition among low-income Filipino households through the provision of meal augmentation worth P3,000 on a monthly basis,” Gatchalian said.
