00:00 The target of joining the DSWD food stamp program is 300,000 families.

00:07 Jonathan Andal reports.

00:09 Maria still has eggs, vegetables and rice.

00:15 She got her free food stamp program for 2 weeks under the government's 3,000 pesos per month.

00:22 She has been a beneficiary for 6 months and before, she got 2.

00:25 Now, she eats 3 times a day.

00:28 Before, we only had breakfast and lunch together.

00:34 Before, we only had fried pork and eggs.

00:40 That's the only thing I can buy that I can provide to them, that is fast to cook.

00:45 Now, we have almost everything, like sweet potato, squash, and chayote.

00:49 They can eat vegetables now.

00:51 The beneficiaries, like Maria, will be added.

00:54 The Social Welfare Department will start the validation and registration

00:59 for the additional 300,000 food poor families who will be beneficiaries of the food stamp program starting this July.

01:05 These beneficiaries are from 21 provinces that have high cases of poverty, malnutrition and hunger, like BARMM.

01:13 They don't need to apply because the DSWD is already talking about the poor families

01:17 who only have 8,300 pesos less in their food budget every month.

01:22 The agency will validate them if they are still poor so that the list can be cleaned.

01:26 But Mrs. Marcelina asked, "How can she be poor but not on the list?"

01:30 I don't have a job. I just live with my relatives.

01:34 So, what I want to happen is, I hope I can apply. I hope I can join.

01:39 We don't have any food registration yet, but we are still studying.

01:46 The DSWD said that the beneficiaries of 4-Piece will not be included in the food stamp program

01:50 because they already received a 600-peso monthly rise subsidy.

01:54 The food stamp program has a condition of being a beneficiary.

01:57 They need to attend a nutrition educational session for 6 months.

02:01 A family member should be included in the test-the-training and look for a job.

02:06 If they don't find a job in the DSWD, they will go to the test-the-training to get a job.

02:11 The food stamp program is only for 10 years.

02:20 The government should help them to get a job.

02:24 Jonathan Andala reporting for GMA Integrated News.

02:28 That's all for the news.

02:30 We will talk to the DSWD spokesperson, Asek Irene Dumlao.

02:34 Good morning and welcome to the news this afternoon.

02:36 Good afternoon, Rafi.

02:39 Good afternoon to all the listeners of the program.

02:41 Aside from the addition of 300,000 families, how many beneficiaries of the food stamp program are there now?

02:46 And why will this increase?

02:48 At the moment, Rafi, there are less than 3,000 household beneficiaries.

02:53 The program's members are located in Tondo, Manila, Mariana Isabela, Garcitorena, Camarines Sur, Dapa, Siargao, and Parang Maguindanao.

03:05 We will scale up our program implementation because Malacanang has already issued a law with the issuance of the Executive Order 44

03:17 that requires the various government agencies to converge to help achieve the objectives of the No Food Stamp Program, of course, to combat hunger and malnutrition.

03:33 Asek, how are you monitoring the requirements to join the food stamp program and how is the success rate so far?

03:40 Well, our food stamp program has a national program management office.

03:45 We have personnel who are monitoring the implementation of the various activities that are part of the program.

03:52 For example, the attendance of our beneficiaries in the nutrition education sessions.

03:58 Under the nutrition education sessions, of course, we endeavor that our beneficiaries have social and behavioral change

04:07 because they are taught to prepare cheap, nutritious, and delicious food.

04:15 And of course, their meal patterns are also improved.

04:21 Of course, we do that in collaboration with different agencies and the private sector.

04:28 We also monitor their attendance in the sessions conducted by TESDA, where they are also given skills.

04:41 Eventually, they will be able to find a job and ultimately fish for their own.

04:49 Okay. We'll be waiting to hear more about the areas under this program.

04:54 Thank you very much, DSWD Spokesperson Irene Dumlao.
