MANILA\u00a0— The Senate on Monday provided the Office of the Vice President (OVP) with an additional PHP20 million for its anti-poverty program, Angat Buhay in its PHP 443 million budget for 2018.<\/p>\n

During the budget deliberations, senators agreed that the additional PHP20 million would complement the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).<\/p>\n

Vice President Leni Robredo, in an interview with Senate reporters, welcomed the additional PHP20 million describing it as a \u201cbig help\u201d to her office which relies heavily on the private sector.<\/p>\n

She said the Angat Buhay program has six pillars — security, nutrition, housing, women empowerment, universal healthcare, and education.<\/p>\n

“Ang gusto sabihin ng PHP20 million pwede na kami mag-spend para dun. Ngayon kasi nakaka-spend kami para sa operations. Pero yung program itself umaasa kami sa private partnership<\/em>\u00a0(The additional PHP20 million means that we can spend for these pillars. Currently, we spend for operations only. But for the program itself we rely on private partnerships),\u201d Robredo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNgayon na meron siyang PHP20 million, kahit siya konti ang laking bagay na for us kasi hindi na kami totally dependent sa private secto<\/em>r (Now that we have PHP20 million, it\u2019s a big help for us because we\u2019re no longer totally dependent on the private sector),\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Robredo said Angat Buhay program currently serves around 140-150 of the poorest communities in the Philippines and will be expanding soon.<\/p>\n
