DSWD to register 750K 'food poor' families for Walang Gutom Program in 2026
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is targeting to register a total of 750,000 food-poor families for the Walang Gutom Program (WGP) by next year. "Right now, we're currently serving 300,000 households, and then before the end of the year, we're planning to add an additional 300,000, and then by next year, 150,000," said DSWD spokesperson Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao in a Dobol B TV interview on Saturday. "Kinakailangan po natin mag-register ng karagdagan sa taon po na ito," Dumlao added. (We need to register more this year.) Dumlao said the 750,000 households were based on the list from DSWD and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Currently, the Walang Gutom Program (WGP), which highlights the P20 per kilo rice, is implemented only in Metro Manila, Cebu, and the CARAGA region, Dumlao said. Poor families in the BARMM are also set to be given priority, the DSWD spokesperson said. "Actually, bibigyan din sila ng prayoridad, Isinaayos lang 'yung specific areas, tapos 'yung number, and then tinignan din sino-sino 'yung accredited merchants. And then based naman po doon sa ating pakikipag-usap sa DA, bibilisan po na 'yung pag-supply doon sa bigas, doon sa ating mga merchants para ma-implement na po natin," she said. (Actually, they will be given priority, specific areas are being arranged, their number, and the accredited merchants. Based on our discussions with the DA, we will speed up the supply of rice to our merchants so that we can implement it.) Beneficiaries of the program may avail themselves of the P20 per kilo rice using their electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, which is similar to a debit card loaded with P3,000 every month. —Jamil Santos/ VAL, GMA Integrated News

Walang Gutom Program beneficiaries can use EBT card to buy P20/kg rice — DSWD
Beneficiaries of the Walang Gutom Program (WGP) may avail the P20 per kilo rice using their electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, according to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). According to Dano Tingcungco's Monday report on '24 Oras,' an EBT card is similar to a debit card loaded with P3,000 per month. The card can be used to buy food included in DSWD's pre-identified food group from Kadiwa-accredited retailers. The available food products can provide the required carbohydrates and proteins for a family's dietary needs. 'Restricted yung menu ng food stamps natin. Binibigyan natin ng kapangyarihang pumili ang mga pamilya. Alam natin sa carbohydrates may bigas at sweet potato. Samu't saring carbohydrates na pwede nilang pagpilian so may portion dun na napupunta sa bigas,' Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian said. (Our food stamp menu is restricted. We give families the power to choose. We know that carbohydrates include rice and sweet potatoes. They have a variety of carbohydrates to choose from, so a portion of that goes to rice.) The WGP beneficiaries are guided in choosing the food they will purchase. A receipt will be handed out to them after they check out at a kiosk. The beneficiaries do not need to max out the P3,000 credit, but it's better to maximize the amount since it aims to address zero hunger. The DSWD said beneficiaries cannot also ask for an advance credit and will have to wait for another month before the balance in the card is topped up. Minimum wage earners can also buy the P20 kilo rice even without the EBT. For now, 10 kilos of rice can be bought per person, but the government aims to have an additional kilo in the next months. It is being implemented with the coordination of their employers. DSWD said about 120,000 minimum wage earners are benefiting from the P20 kilo rice program, but the government aims to have one million beneficiaries before the year ends. Meanwhile, at least 300,000 Walang Gutom Program beneficiaries are benefiting from the P20 kilo rice program. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News

DSWD: Food stamp beneficiaries may now avail of P20 rice in accredited stores
Beneficiaries of the government's food stamp program may now avail of the P20 per kilogram subsidized rice in accredited retailers, according to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). On Monday, Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian led a food redemption activity for the Walang Gutom Program (WGP) beneficiaries in Tondo, Manila, where the department also launched the 'Benteng Bigas, Meron na sa WGP' program. Under the program, accredited suppliers and retailers of the Department of Agriculture, including Kadiwa outlets, will now be able to sell P20 rice to WGP beneficiaries during redemption days. 'Ngayong araw, sinimulan na natin na magkaroon ng availability ng P20 na bigas sa ating mga WGP beneficiaries,' said Gatchalian. (Starting today, the P20 rice will be available to WGP beneficiaries.) 'Kung matatandaan ninyo, utos ng ating Pangulo na itong P20, dapat ang nakikinabang dyan ay pinaka-vulnerable sa ating mga mamamayan. Kung ilalagay sa kontekesto, ang WGP beneficiaries, sila yung food poor o pinakamahirap sa pinakamahirap,' he said. (If you can remember, the President said that the P20 rice should benefit the most vulnerable Filipinos. Putting into context, the WGP beneficiaries are the poorest of the poor in the country.) At least 300,000 food-poor Filipinos are currently enrolled under the WGP. According to Gatchalian, the number of beneficiaries are poised to reach 750,000 by 2026. Gatchalian also said the DSWD is pilot testing the 'Benteng Bigas, Meron na sa WGP' in some areas in the country including Tondo. Other areas are Cebu and Caraga. WGP Dubbed as "Walang Gutom 2027: Food Stamp Program," the project aims to assist targeted households to address involuntary hunger in the country. The DSWD earlier said it would provide "electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards" that will be loaded with food credits amounting to P3,000 per month to purchase a select list of food commodities from the DSWD registered or accredited local retailers. Some conditions for the WGP beneficiaries include attending nutrition classes and having one employed family member who can later take skills upgrade training under the Department of Labor and Employment, or Technical Education and Skills Development Authority. — Sundy Locus/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
