Mayor Vico assures fairness in Pamaskong Handog distribution
Manila Bulletin
|December 3, 2025
Mayor Vico Sotto assured all families in Pasig City, especially those facing integration problems with their PasigPass and the National ID, that they will still receive their Pamaskong Handog (PH) packs.
The PasigPass, integrated with the National ID, is used to verify families and ensure that each family receives only one PH pack. This system helps prevent duplicate or fraudulent claims and ensures a fair distribution for all.
Sotto acknowledged complaints from Pasiguefios regarding verification issues, such as login errors and difficulties completing the process.
To address this, he assured that every family facing integration problems will still receive at least one PH pack and that the PH team will temporarily override the system.
