00:00Meanwhile, the president's most coveted wish is to completely stamp out hunger in the homeland.

00:05Towards such end, he seeks to leave or to lift over 600,000 Filipino families from food-poor status,

00:12in which each household earns a max of 9,000 pesos a month.

00:16Arnoel Talacay has the full report.

00:20Rosilani Yosub is a street vendor.

00:23Her income, according to her, is less than 10,000 pesos per month.

00:28That's why her family is always short in their budget for food.

00:32A survey from the Philippines Statistic Authority says a household that earns 9,000 pesos per month can be considered food-poor.

00:51Therefore, Rosilani's household falls in the sad category.

00:56In the recent State of the Nation address of President Ferdinand R. Marquez, Jr.,

01:01he said that just this year, his administration aims to help 600,000 food-poor families.

01:09According to the Food Poverty Survey of the Philippines Statistic Authority,

01:14there are 750,000 food-poor families in the country.

01:19Of that number, 300,000 food-poor families have already enrolled in the Department of Social Welfare and Development's Walang Gutong Program.

01:29Next month, the agency will begin locating an additional 300,000 food-poor families.

01:36This year, mag-expand po tayo sa additional provinces at regions, depending na po sa mabababa sa ating datos ng PSA.

01:46The agency also supports a bill from the House of Representatives to institutionalize the Walang Gutong Program.

01:54Actually, last Congress, nakalusot na kami sa first reading, sa committee level, nakalusot na kami.

02:00Ipupurso na lang namin ulit this new Congress.

02:04One of the innovations that the agency would do this year for the program is to make it fully digitalized,

02:11which has already been running in Tondo, Cebu, and Surigao.

02:16Ipipindot-pindot na lang sila kung ano yung gusto nilang order ng mga pagkain.

02:22So doon na din lalabas yung kanilang resibo, itatap na lang nila yung EBT card nila, babasahin yung QR code.

02:28Anselmo Brasas from Tondo, Manila, has been a beneficiary of the program for a year now,

02:34and he observes that his family has now sufficient food on their table.

02:38Sobra-sobra po, sapat na sapat na po, wala na pong, wala na pong nagtatang tatay, wala na pong patayin kami.

02:46DSWD says that the agency is just waiting for the report of PSA on its community-based monitoring

02:55because this is the basis of the agency in determining the additional 300,000 food-poor families

03:03who will become beneficiaries of the program.

03:07Next year, another 150,000 food-poor families will be accredited to benefit from the program

03:15that will complete the 750,000 food-poor families in the country that the Marcus Jr. administration intends to help.

03:25Noel Talakay from the National TV Network for New Better Philippines.
