SOME 12.4 million beneficiaries of the Targeted Cash Transfer program (TCT) will receive this week their P500 cash aid that the government earlier promised to help the poor cope with the rising prices of commodities, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said.

DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo on Sunday said the distribution of the cash aid will start on Monday, July 4, 2022.
