Man Got Arrested After Buying Drugs Using SAP Cash Aid
A man in Cavite was arrested after being caught with a shabu and allegedly newly received cash aid from the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).
A man in Bacoor, Cavite was arrested after a sachet of suspected shabu was pulled over. The suspect admitted that he had earlier received the P6,500 Social Amelioration Program (SAP).
According to the report of GMA News, authorities say they arrested Clark Jerel Navalta on Thursday night. The money he used to buy the sachet of suspected drugs was from the social amelioration cash assistance from the government.
“Bumili po muna ako ng groceries po tapos kumuha po ng mga halagang P150 lang naman po ‘yon at nag-drugs po,” Navalta said in an interview.
“Kasi may extra po ako sa construction, pinapa-extra po ako dun sa banda sa amin. Kaya sinubukan ko po na kumuha (ng droga) para magkalakas lang ng konti,” he added.
Under the social amelioration program of the DSWD, assistance will be given to low-income households, including senior citizens, persons with a disability, single parents, overseas Filipinos in distress, and pregnant mothers, who were affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Previously, an alleged drunk man in Murcia, Negros Occidental chased the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) workers and officials after he was told that he’s not qualified to avail the social amelioration cash assistance.
