Alagang QC: P4,000 “Ayuda” for Quezon City Residents

By Jessa Rivera 8 Comments Filed Under: Public Info

Alagang “QC” is a newly launched financial aid program by the Quezon City government led by Mayor Joy Belmonte and Vice Mayor Gian Sotto on Tuesday which intends to provide workers who lost their jobs due to the pandemic with up to P4,000 assistance.

“This program is the local government’s way to help QCitizens who lost their jobs because of the pandemic and the economic crisis,” Belmonte said in Filipino via PhilStar report.

“They can use this financial assistance to continue providing for their families while looking for work or preparing their requirements,” she added.

The Alagang QC has a budget of P60 million and will offer qualified applicants with weekly financial assistance of P500 for a maximum of eight weeks, or the equivalent of P4,000.

In order to efficiently release the weekly compensation, the city government paired up with GCash. Meaning, payout will be made via the mobile wallet.

The city’s Public Employment Service Office, which Belmonte claimed had been hosting district job fairs to assist unemployed Quezon City citizens, will carry out the initiative.
