MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Wednesday welcomed results of a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, which showed that 71 percent of Filipinos said their families received financial assistance from the government.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the SWS survey results are proof that help from the government \u201chas been felt by a great number\u201d of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is indeed a fulfillment of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte\u2019s vow to make up for the loss of economic opportunities when quarantine measures were imposed,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Roque said the primary recipients of the Department of Social Welfare and Development\u2019s social amelioration program (SAP) and the Department of Labor and Employment\u2019s Abot Kamay ang Pagtulong (AKAP), Tulong Panghanap-buhay sa Ating Disadvantaged\/Displaced Workers (TUPAD), and Covid-19 Adjustment Measures Program (CAMP) are the most vulnerable sectors and those severely affected by the lockdown.<\/p>\n

The SWS survey’s 71 percent figure hardly changed from the 72 percent recorded in July.<\/p>\n

It also showed that 67 percent of Filipinos said their families received financial aid once, and 29 percent received it twice.<\/p>\n

The remaining 2 percent received it thrice, 1 percent received it four times, and 0.21 percent received it five times.<\/p>\n

Seventy-one percent whose families received financial assistance said they received an average total of PHP7,531 since the start of the Covid-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

The survey also found out financial aid distribution was most widespread and frequent in Metro Manila compared to other areas.<\/p>\n

“The proportion of those whose families received money-help from (the) government was highest in Metro Manila (82 percent), followed by the Visayas (73 percent), Balance Luzon (70 percent), and Mindanao (64 percent),” it read.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the survey also showed that Metro Manila families received the highest average amount compared to those in Balance Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn particular, since the start of the crisis, families in Metro Manila received an average amount of PHP11,024 (median PHP10,000), followed by Balance Luzon with an average of PHP7,481 (median PHP6,000), the Visayas with an average of PHP6,833 (median PHP6,000), and Mindanao with an average of PHP5,664 (median PHP5,000),\u201d the survey read.<\/p>\n

It also showed that more families in urban areas (75 percent) received financial aid from the government than in rural areas (67 percent).<\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies in urban areas received an average of PHP8,721 (median PHP6,900), higher than the average of PHP6,306 (median PHP5,000) received by families in rural areas,\u201d the survey said.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted from Sept. 17 to 20 using mobile phone and computer-assisted telephone interviewing of 1,249 adult Filipinos nationwide.<\/p>\n

It had a sampling error margin of \u00b13 percent for national percentages, \u00b16 percent for Metro Manila, \u00b15 percent for Balance Luzon, \u00b16 percent for the Visayas, and \u00b16 percent for Mindanao.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
