The city government of Pasay has yet to complete the distribution of cash assistance to qualified beneficiaries affected by the implementation of enhanced community quarantine.
Speaking in the Sept. 2 Palace briefing, Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano said their completion rate is at 98% as there are still barangays placed under granular lockdown and some of their personnel are undergoing quarantine.
“Dalawa lang naman po, at iyon ding aming mga social workers at sa amin pong ibang empleyado ay talagang naka-quarantine kaya medyo bumagal po kami. Pero imi-meet po namin iyan na talagang maibigay sa lahat,” she said.
Meanwhile, the city mayor said they have already vaccinated 80% of their target population following the strengthened vaccination rollout during the implementation of ECQ.
“Isa na lang po ang barangay na nasa 33% ang populasyon niya na nabakunahan based on our target population na 70%. At 34 to 49% mayroon na po kaming maraming mga barangay, 43%,” she said.
“Iyon pong 50 to 99%, mayroon po kaming 133 na na barangays. At sa 100% po, mayroon po kaming 24 barangays na nabakunahan na po iyong target population na 70%,” she added.
As of. Sept 1, the city has already deployed 397,687 COVID-19 vaccine doses. -rir
