Eligible solo parents in Muntinlupa to receive P1K monthly cash aid

Qualified single parents would get P1,000 in cash support each month to help them deal with the rising cost of commodities, according to the Muntinlupa City government.

“Alinsunod sa direktiba ni Mayor Ruffy Biazon na palakasin ang suporta sa ating indigent Solo Parents, makakatanggap na ang mga qualified beneficiaries ng P1000 monthly cash assistance sa bisa ng City Ordinance No. 2025-311 o ang Muntinlupa City Solo Parents Cash Subsidy,” the Muntinlupa City local government said in a Facebook post on Friday.

(In accordance with Mayor Ruffy Biazon's directive to strengthen support for our indigent solo parents, qualified beneficiaries will now receive P1000 monthly cash assistance through either City Ordinance No. 2025-311 or the Muntinlupa City Solo Parents Cash Subsidy.)

“Layon nitong makatulong sa ating solo parents na ramdam ang bigat ng patuloy na pagtaas ng mga bilihin at gastusin sa araw-araw,” it added.

(This aims to help our solo parents who feel the weight of the continuing increase of daily goods and expenses.)

The Muntinlupa local government unit identified those who are qualified for the assistance:

• Minimum wage earner or below

• Self-employed or with no regular job earning minimum wage or below

• Not a 4Ps beneficiary

Meanwhile, a solo parent is no longer qualified if all of his or her children are already over 22 years old.

The LGU asked those eligible to submit their complete requirements at their Social Services Department (Ground Floor, Annex Bldg., Muntinlupa City Hall) and to present their valid Solo Parent ID before application.

Within 15 working days following the complete submission, a validator will conduct a home visit in the residence of the applicant as part of the validation process, it said. —VBL, GMA Integrated News
