DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao said the agency is continuously intensifying its validation and de-duplication process to  ensure that all the recipients of the second wave of subsidies are eligible and there will be no duplication in the availment of cash aid. 

“Kami ay nanghihingi ng pang-unawa sa ating mga kababayan lalo na po ang ating beneficiaries under the Social Amelioration Program.  Naiintindihan at nauunawaan na kinakailangan na po nila ang ayuda mula sa pamahalaan. Pinagsisikapan po ng DSWD na maipahatid ito sa lalong madaling panahon dahil batid po namin ang inyong pangangailangan,” she said in an interview over DZBB. 

(We are asking for understanding to our countrymen especially the beneficiaries under the Social Amelioration Program. We understand that they badly needed the aid from the government.  The DSWD is trying to distribute this as soon as possible because we recognize your needs.)

“Tinitiyak lamang ng DSWD na maging maayos at malinis ang ating listahan para nga mas maayos ‘yung ating pagpapatupad nitong programa (The DSWD just wants to ensure that we will have a clean list so that we can properly implement the program) . …Kami ay humihingi ng konti pang-unawa (We are asking for your little understanding)  but with the assurance that the services will provided to you” she added. 

Dumlao said the DSWD Central Office is in close coordination with its different Field Offices to strengthen its validation and deduplication process to come up with clean lists of beneficiaries.

“Sa mga sumusunod na araw po ipapahatid na po ‘yung ayuda sa mga qualified [beneficiaries] dahil nga po meron na po rin tayong mga clean lists at currently ito ay sinasaayos na ating mga Field Offices,” she said(In the coming days,  the cash aid will be delivered to qualified beneficiaries because we have clean lists and currently, they are being ironed out by our Field Offices.)

Dumlao noted that almost 180,000 waitlisted beneficiaries have received their cash aid, so far. These include those recipients from Makati City,   Caloocan City,  Quezon City and Pasig City who received their cash aid through digital payment.In a radio interview,  DSWD Secretary Rolando Bautista said on Saturday, July 11, they are seeking to cover 80 percent of its targeted beneficiaries for the second tranche of SAP by end of July.

He said so far, over 1.5 million beneficiaries of the 12 million households targeted to receive the second wave of emergency cash subsidies have been served.

The number includes the 1.3 million beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) who are cash card holders.

DITO Telecom sets technical launch on July 8

Telco startup DITO Telecommunity Corp. is still on track and ready for its technical launch on July 8, DITO chief administrative officer Adel Tamano said.

“The DITO Telecommunity rollout is continuing as best as we can during this COVID19 pandemic and is currently assessing how best to proceed with the mandated technical launch on July 8,” he added.

This week, DITO conducted its speed test dry run in Taguig City.

The technical launch means the start of internal monitoring of its commitment to provide services to 37 percent of the country’s population with a minimum average speed of 27 megabits per second during its first year of operations.

By the end of its fifth year, DITO promised to cover 84 percent of the Philippines and offer a minimum average speed of at least 55 mbps.

The technical launch differs from the rollout of commercial services to subscribers, which could come as late as March 2021.

Metro Manila and urban areas in Luzon are key markets in ensuring DITO meets its population coverage targets.

“Let me assure the public that we are very much aware of the pressing need for world class connectivity that Filipinos truly deserve which this global pandemic has made even more evident,” Tamano said.

In 2018, DITO was named as the country’s third major telco player that would challenge industry incumbents PLDT Inc. and Globe Telecom.

Kwentong Dream House nila Doug Kramer at Cheska Garcia-Kramer

Photo courtesy: Team Kramer Facebook Account

Pinakita ng mag-asawang Doug Kramer at Cheska Garcia-Kramer ang kanilang Bahay na napakaganda at napakalaki. 

BASAHIN: Isang dream house na hindi mo na gugustuhing lumabas dahil lahat ng kailangan mo nasa loob na ng iyong sariling bakod. Ito ang nasa isip ng aktres na si Cheska Garcia at PBA player na si Doug Kramer nang itinayo ang kanilang bahay. 

Higit sa isang milyon ang fans nila sa kanilang Facebook account. Kaliwa't kanan din ang guestings at endorsements nila.  Ganito kasikat ang mag-asawang Cheska at Doug Kramer kasama ang kanilang tatlong anak na sina Kendra, Scarlet at Gavin o mas kilala bilang Team Kramer. 

Sa kanilang tatlong palapag na bahay, lahat daw ay paborito nila pero ang pinaka pinaggastusan nila ay ang kanilang home cinema na umaabot daw ng milyon ang halaga. Ipasisilip din nina Doug at Cheska ang kanilang walk-in closet . Ninety percent daw ng laman nito ay damit, sapatos, bags, at accessories ni Cheska.  

Hindi rin magpapahuli ang kanilang mga chikiting dahil may kanya- kanya rin silang closet. Sa katunayan, ang apat na taong gulang at dalawang taong gulang na sina Kendra at Scarlet ang mismong magbibigay ng tour sa kanilang kwarto. Kamakailan lamang ay ni-renovate ito at ginawang Frozen ang tema kung saan bida sa kanilang silid ang Disney characters na sina Elsa at Anna.

Sa kusina naman ng Team Kramer, matatagpuan ang isang cabinet na puno ng junkfood.  Isang wine cabinet din ang makikita dito dahil mahilig daw kasing mag-date sina Doug at Cheska  at masaya na sila kahit sa lanai lamang ng kanilang bahay sila mag-bonding. Isang child-friendly swimming pool din ang pinagawa ng mag-asawa para sa kanilang mga anak. Talagang kumpleto ang kanilang bahay at bihira na raw sila lumabas, mas tipid pa! 

Marami ang napabilib sa team work ng Team Kramer kaya naman marami ang sumusuporta sa kanila. Sa katunayan ay nanguna sila sa isang petisyon  para makapagtayo ng  mobile hospital sa mga probinsya na nasalanta ng Bagyong Yolanda.  Umabot sa 15,000 ang pledge sa petisyon na ito. 

Sa kabila ng kasikatan ng kanilang pamilya ay nasakripisyo naman daw ang kanilang pribadong buhay.

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian recommends postponement of class opening

READ - Senator Sherwin Gatchalian on Friday said he would recommend to defer the opening of classes in August should the Department of Education (DepEd) still be unprepared by July 15.

The DepEd needs to train at least 80 percent of the 800,000 public school teachers by the said date before they could say that the country is ready to open virtual and distance-learning classes on August 24, Gatchalian said in an online press conference.

"Nakita naman natin na gumagalaw, but we have to be realistic kasi ang DepEd ay napakalaki at napakarami ng estudyante," 

"Kung hindi tayo ready, walang matutunan ang bata at magsasayng lang tayo ng pera kaya importante ang readiness natin," Gatchalian said.
