In line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to prioritize public safety during calamities, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released P1.625 billion to replenish the Quick Response Funds (QRFs) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Of the P1.625 billion, P625 million was released to DSWD for the procurement of family food packs (FFPs) and nonfood items (NFIs). This fund is expected to support over 510,000 disaster-affected families, DBM said.

The remaining P1 billion was allocated to DPWH as the second replenishment of its QRF to support infrastructure-related disaster response and recovery.

DBM Secretary Mina Pangandaman had emphasized the importance of immediate fund availability for rapid disaster response by the two departments.
