Amid the worldwide coronavirus pandemic affecting millions of formal and informal workers in the country, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is set to give out P4 million cash assistance to artists and cultural workers displaced during the period of the Enhanced Community Quarantine.

Under the “NCCA’s Assistance Program for Cultural Workers Under the State of Calamity,” around 800 beneficiaries will receive P5,000 each net of tax to help them tide the #stayhomestaysafe directive of the government to contain the spread of the disease.
