BUTUAN CITY– The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga through the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program would like to clarify to the public regarding the additional cash grants for rice subsidy.

“I encouraged all Pantawid Pamilya partner-beneficiaries to wait for official notice from the City/Municipal Links on rice subsidy to avoid misinformation,” said Lim.
