00:00 Many thanks to the beneficiaries of the DSWD's No Hunger 2027 food stamp program.

00:10 President Ferdinand Arbarcos Jr. and DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian promised that the program will continue

00:19 so that more Filipinos can benefit from it.

00:23 Here is the news report from Ryan Lasigues.

00:30 Father Jolito is appraising the DSWD's No Hunger 2027 food stamp program.

00:36 He said that before the program was launched, they only eat once a day.

00:42 But now, the three meals a day are complete.

00:46 Father Jolito earns only P250 for his waste and he is giving it to 10 members of his family.

00:56 It's good for the project that our President did for the country.

01:01 For all the things that happened to us, to our poor, to the poor, the President did a great help.

01:11 The DSWD did a great help.

01:15 Alma is not complaining about her children's daily meals.

01:22 Food stamps are a big thing for our family.

01:26 The food stamps, of course, are for my children.

01:30 They can eat whatever they want because of the food stamps.

01:34 Earlier, 50 beneficiaries of the program from Tondo, Manila, gathered together.

01:40 They are included in the 3,000 beneficiaries of the pilot run of the program from Cagayan Valley, NCR, Bicol, Caraga and BIRMM.

01:51 Our first distribution was successful last month.

01:55 Our kickoff was here in Tondo.

01:57 This is the continuation of the same 50 beneficiaries that were covered by our pilot implementation.

02:04 Now, you can see that our Nutrition Education Program is included as a crucial component of the food stamp program

02:13 because we will teach them how to cook delicious, cheap and healthy food.

02:19 Bitbit, the electronic benefits transfer or ABT card that can be used to buy nutritious food.

02:26 The beneficiaries immediately gathered to avoid scams or fraud.

02:30 The fingerprint of the owner of the card is also being checked.

02:33 Two people can register for the fingerprint.

02:36 In the food stamp credit, the budget for three types of food was cut immediately.

02:42 Php 1,500 was allocated for rice, corn and bread, Php 900 for fish and meat, Php 600 for chicken and pork,

02:54 Php 600 for vegetables and fruits.

02:56 The monthly aid will last for six months from the food stamp program for the pilot implementation.

03:02 The DSWD will have an assessment after this.

03:07 We're expecting a scale-up of our pilot implementation by October.

03:13 It's already Php 3,000.

03:15 Php 3,000 for all of our pilot sites.

03:19 But end of this month, we are actually setting another kickoff in Caraga, in Siargao.

03:28 We will have a kickoff there, another set of 50 beneficiaries.

03:32 The target of the DSWD food stamp program is set for a poor family in Minyok.

03:38 Among them are the poor families who earn Php 8,000 or less, the beneficiaries and some members of the four-piece.

03:47 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian promised that the program will continue,

03:56 especially since the Asian Development Bank and World Food Program is ready to help fund it.

04:02 Ryan Lizigas, for the nation.
