THE DEPARTMENT of Social Welfare and Development in Northern Mindanao assisted students who did not have internet access to register for its educational assistance.

DSWD-10 Assistant Director for Operations Rosemarie Conde said that they assisted the students through the help of the local government units.

In a report, the agency said it distributed P9.4 million to 2,902 beneficiaries in satellite offices with the help of the police and village officials.

The DSWD earlier said that walk-ins will not be allowed to get aid and beneficiaries need to register online.

It added that the beneficiaries in the payout areas were also immunized as part of a vaccination program that DSWD-10 organized with the Department of Health.
