Some 191,243 poor households in Region-12 or Soccsksargen are set to receive
additional cash subsidy under the national government’s unconditional cash
transfer (UCT) program.

Taha said the validation was based on the agency’s database for the Listahanan or the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction, an information management system that properly documents the poor households nationwide.
She said they completed the updating and encoding of the validated beneficiaries as targeted last May 31.
