00:00 Three thousand families are currently beneficiaries of the Food Stamp Program of the government.
00:05 In July, the DSWD plans to increase that number.
00:09 First news live is Bam Alegre.
00:12 Bam!
00:14 Good morning. The Food Stamp Program is the government's answer to the most in need families
00:22 who are experiencing hunger and poverty.
00:25 This program is planned to make it easier.
00:28 [Bell rings]
00:30 GMA Integrated News reached these mothers who are already in bed.
00:36 Next to the bench, the stall where they will sleep will open
00:41 here in Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz in Binondo.
00:43 Baby Ruth's son is still sleeping but he needs to wake up.
00:47 A new challenge for the mothers who are looking for food for the whole afternoon.
00:51 Baby Ruth's husband left first to go to the market even if he has little to earn.
00:55 It's hard. Especially now.
00:59 We are just in the market. Sometimes, my husband calls.
01:03 Or the tricycle.
01:05 It's hard, especially when it rains.
01:08 We are just sleeping in the heat.
01:10 Like Baby Ruth, those who have no place to live and no food are the ones who are asked to help with the Food Stamp Program of the government.
01:16 Each beneficiary will be given three thousand pesos to spend on food for the family.
01:23 This is done digitally using electronic beneficiary transfer cards.
01:27 In total, three thousand pesos is equivalent to 50% for carbohydrates, 30% for protein, and 20% for fruits and vegetables.
01:36 This is a big help for Baby Ruth.
01:39 I want my children to finish their studies.
01:43 And I want them to have a good life before I leave.
01:50 The single parent, Estrellita Chudoro, also thinks that she deserves to be included in the list of beneficiaries.
01:55 She has been sending different sidelines to help her children.
01:59 She is now selling coffee while leaving for the streets of nearby houses.
02:04 It is also important for her to be included in the Food Stamp Program.
02:08 For me, I deserve to be included because I am a single parent.
02:14 We are also looking for a job every day to support my children.
02:18 This is a big help for me.
02:30 The program's beneficiaries are limited.
02:38 But this plan will be expanded.
02:40 And there are discussions to make this permanent through the implementation of this law
02:45 so that it will be effective for anyone who is in the administration.
02:48 This is the first news.
02:50 Good bye.
02:52 Igan, you are the first in the news.
