An Act Institutionalizing the Walang Gutom Program as the Government's Flagship Food Security Initiative, Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The bill makes the Walang Gutom food‑assistance program a permanent national flagship, directing the DSWD to deliver electronic or in‑kind food aid to the poorest households, while coordinating with agriculture, health, education, and livelihood agencies. Funding will come from the DSWD’s share of the yearly General Appropriations Act, and local governments will help identify beneficiaries and monitor delivery. The law also requires the DSWD to issue detailed rules within 90 days and to report annually to Congress.
