MAKING THINGS SAFER. Having seen the importance of ensuring the safety of its beneficiaries during the pandemic, the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office X distributed cash cards to 1,139 residents in Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte who are eligible to receive the Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT).
Issued by Land Bank of the Philippines, the cash cards will enable UCT beneficiaries to claim their stipend from the DSWD Field Office X from ATM machines, without having to queue in off-site payouts.
As an agency that responds to the needs of the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals, families, and communities, the DSWD Field Office X continues to seek recommendations from the Department of Health, and the Regional Inter-Agency Task Force for Emergency and Infectious Diseases (RIATF) and implement measures that will help lessen the effects of COVID-19 in Northern Mindanao.
