Complete details

Since May 21, several copy-pasted posts have been circulating on Facebook, encouraging anyone with a valid ID to sign up for P10,000 cash aid from the government through an unverified link.

According to these posts, the DSWD will be releasing this cash aid upon registration online. 

This is false. 

As of July 2022, there are no reports about any cash aid distribution for those who possess any valid ID. The DSWD has not made any announcement either. 

Official government processes are made available on their respective websites, not through sign-up links on unverified social media accounts.

Cash aid is given only to citizens who fit the criteria set by the local government units, the DSWD, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government. – Sofia Guanzon/Rappler.com
