Department of Elizaldy Co (Ako Bicol Party-list) to provide financial assistance to below minimum wage earners and indigent Filipinos affected by inflation.
Some call it Romualdez's "pet project," which was included in the 2024 national budget and again in 2025, with roughly P26 billion allotted for each year.
According to Pangandaman, AKAP was not allocated funding for 2026 because it still has remaining funds from 2025 and the government has "limited fiscal space."
