|July 7, 2025
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has allocated P3 billion in standby funds to support local government units (LGUs) and communities affected by disasters this year.
DSWD spokesperson Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao said the funds are readily available and will be used to respond to requests from calamity-hit LGUs.
“Ito po ay magagamit natin para tutugon sa mga request ng iba't-ibang LGUs na naapektuhan (This will be used to respond to the different requests of calamity-affected LGUs),” Dumlao said in a DZBB radio interview on Sunday, July 6.
In addition to the standby funds, the agency has also prepositioned more than three million family food packs in DSWD warehouses, as well as in LGU and partner organization storage facilities nationwide.
