WITH the payout for the second tranche of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) is ongoing, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) 7 has reminded beneficiaries not to share their personal details including their one-time personal identification number (PIN) with anyone.

Leah Quintana, DSWD 7 information officer, cautioned the beneficiaries during an online SAP briefing Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2020.

“Pahimangno lang usab kay naay mga reports ta nga nadawat. Magbantay ug dili magpadala sa mga tawo o grupo nga mapahimuslanon ug mangingilad nga magpahibalo o magpadala og mensahe sa inyong pagkuha sa ayuda,” she said.

Quintana said as of Wednesday morning, a total of 25,971 non-Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) SAP beneficiaries in Cebu have claimed their P6,000 cash aid under the second tranche.

This is equivalent to a total of P155,826,000.
