Navotas solo parents get financial aid anew
THE City Government of Navotas distributed anew financial assistance to qualified solo parents through the Saya All, Angat All program.
Some 450 Navoteños received P2,000 cash subsidy following the verification of their newly-applied and renewed solo parent identification cards.
The fourth batch of beneficiaries included Angelica Ebrole, 33, a single mother from Brgy. Sipac-Almacen. She plans to use the money that she received to fund the daily school expenses of her children while. Jopel Pastrana, 35, a single father from Brgy. Navotas East intends to do the same.
“Pandadagdag ko po ito sa pambili ng pagkain at school supplies ng mga bata. Malaking tulong po sa amin ang programang ito ni Mayor John Rey,” Pastrana said.
The Saya All, Angat All Tulong Pinansyal ng LGU ng Navotas para sa mga Solo Parents is part of the city government’s series of pandemic recovery programs which aim to benefit 1,500 registered Navoteño solo parents this year.
“Our social welfare and development office is already preparing for the fifth and final batch of beneficiaries this year. We encourage Navoteño solo parents to secure their 2022 solo parent ID to qualify for the next payout,” Mayor John Rey Tiangco said.
Navotas, through Navotas Vocational Training and Assessment Institute, also conducted a 5-day skills training in foot spa services to give registered solo parents another means to earn a living.
The city government, through City Ordinance No. 2019-17, also provides indigent solo parents with P1,000 educational assistance every school year.
