The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will simultaneously distribute P5,000 cash assistance to tricycle drivers in 30 identified sites across the National Capital Region (NCR) starting Tuesday, March 17.
DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian will oversee the distribution program, working alongside Transportation Secretary in the implementation of the cash aid initiative.
Distribution Details
The P5,000 assistance will be made available to qualifying tricycle drivers at the 30 designated distribution sites throughout NCR. The simultaneous rollout across multiple locations is designed to accommodate the large number of potential beneficiaries in the region.
Government Coordination
The program represents coordination between two key government departments - the DSWD and the Department of Transportation - indicating the cross-agency nature of the assistance program for tricycle drivers.
Tricycle drivers represent a significant portion of public transport operators in NCR, providing last-mile connectivity services in many communities throughout the capital region.
