MANILA, Philippines — Less than half of the P11.2 billion ayuda fund released by the national government has been released to poor families in Metro Manila with just one week left for local governments to complete the distribution, the Department of the Interior and Local Government said Wednesday.

 

In a statement, the DILG said that just P4.5 billion or 40.6% of the ayuda allocated for the capital region has reached target beneficiaries as of August 16 after the aid rollout formally began on Wednesday, August 11. 

 

Under the guidelines released to local governments, Metro Manila's local chief executives have 15 days from the start—or until Wednesday, August 25—to complete the distribution of ayuda to their constituents.
