CEBU CITY, March 26 (PIA) -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region 7 is encouraging Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) partner-beneficiaries to follow safety protocols during its cash grant payout.
“We are informing our 4Ps beneficiaries to follow the exact schedule of their payout as advised by their 4Ps City and Municipal Links. If the date of the payout is already confirmed by their City and Municipal Links, that is the time they can withdraw their cash grant using their cash card in the nearest Landbank ATM machine,” said DSWD-7 Regional Director Rebecca Geamala.
Cash grants credited through the Europay, Mastercard, and Visa (EMV) card may be withdrawn from any Land Bank of the Philippines Automated Teller Machines (LBP-ATMs) or any ATM subject to minimal charges.
Beneficiaries may also use their EMV cards in establishments that receive payment through point-of-sale (POS).
In withdrawing their cash grants, the 4Ps beneficiaries are encouraged to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) like face mask, gloves, handkerchief and bring hand sanitizers or alcohol and umbrella.
Physical distancing of at least one meter should also be strictly followed by 4Ps beneficiaries while lining up for the ATM machine.
After withdrawing their cash grant and purchasing important items, the 4Ps beneficiaries are also encouraged to properly wash their hands and disinfect before entering their house and change clothes.
“In times like this, the cash grant would be a big help to the 4Ps beneficiaries for them to buy their needs like food and vitamins but everyone should be cautious enough to avoid the spread the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) to others,” said Geamala. (hfg/PIA7/DSWD7)
