Dear Mr. Carlo Jey Tabuelog,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated 9 June 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You requested the following: (1) Inquiry on why was your family not included in the beneficiaries of the SAP First Tranche. Your mother was able to fill-up the SAC Form but your family was not included in the SAP Beneficiary Masterlist. What was the basis for the exclusion because you were also affected? You are a hotelier, one of the first to be affected and your mother was on leave because of the ECQ. Hopefully, in the second tranche, you will be included and that this will be given attention.

Response to your request

Unfortunately, this is not a valid Freedom of Information (FOI) Request. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request.

However, you may contact the DSWD Social Amelioration Program Hotline Numbers at telephone  number 16545 or by cellular phones through calling 09474822864 (Smart), 09162471194 (Globe) or 09329333251 (Sun) or texting 09189122813 or by e-mail at [email protected] to inquire about your concerns and/or report irregularities about the Social Amelioration Program brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to MC 009, s. 2020 entitled Omnibus Guidelines in the Implementation of the Emergency Subsidy Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and is available at https://www.dswd.gov.ph/issuances/MCs/MC_2020-009.pdf, it is the barangay that chooses the SAP beneficiaries. Specifically:

X.	Role of the LGUs

	The LGU shall perform the following: xxx

		2.	Prepare the list of target beneficiaries/clients as stated above; xxx

Thus, you could inquire at your barangay regarding your request for inclusion in the Second Tranche.

Further, the criteria for inclusion is also laid down in the same MC.
