The municipal government government gave us a form which we filled with my name and then given back to be processed so that I can receive a cash grant from the government. It is called the "Social Amelioration Program" and the total that will be given out was around 200 Billion PhP.
The money came from the saved up funds from the government owned and controlled corporations. I am happy that we have a spare money but it will only last a little less than three months so i am worried if the lockdown goes to extend another month after the end of this month, things will even be more difficult for all of us here.
My parents both should receive the social amelioration as well but they are no longer qualified because they are receiving a social security pension plus they have children that are working.
The government cash grant is targeted to the poorest of the poor, personas with disabilities like me, the no work no pay individuals, public utility vehicle drivers, etc.
The village council will determine who will be given the "form" because they are the ones who knows their respective areas of responsibility.
I will or might receive a total of $156 which I will save up for payment to my dialysis sessions at the end of the year when my government health insurance allocation had been consumed.
My health insurance is not giving additional dialysis sessions yet but I believe that in the future they will. At that point if I am a bit at ease financially I might go for thrice weekly sessions so that my blood could get cleaned better.
Anyway I am glad that we have a president in my country that is really good at handling this situation. it is just we do not have much funds to spare if the contagion of CoViD is not solved soon then I would expect the worse. May God helps us all.
