The City Government of Bacolod, through the Department of Social Services and Development (DSSD) in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), officially commenced distribution of the Solo Parent Cash Subsidy yesterday, the Bacolod City Communications Office said.
A total of 1,500 registered solo parents in the city will receive P6,000 each, covering the period July to December 2025. The total fund allocated for the initiative is P9 million.
The first payout was held at Villamonte Gym in Barangay Villamonte, where 750 solo parents claimed their assistance. A total of P4,500,000 was disbursed on the first day.
The subsidy aims to ease the financial burden of solo parents, supporting household expenses, health care, and children’s education.
The DSSD announced a second payout is scheduled for February 18, for remaining beneficiaries.
Beneficiaries who missed today’s distribution or cannot attend the February 18 payout may process their claims at the DSSD Office in the Bacolod City Government Center (BCGC).
