The said amount, according to Lacuna, covers the months of from January to March, 2025.
It was learned from Tria that the manual payout of the students’ allowances was done from May 28 to 31 without any hitches.
Under the system employed ever since, the distribution of allowances for UdM students was made following a schedule for each college.
Tria said the total number of students who received P3,000 each totaled 10,115 for a grand total amount of P30,345,000.
Along with the UdM, about 8,000 students from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) were also able to receive the same amount of monetary allowance but through debit card accounts.
The two universities are being run by the local government unit of Manila and the P1,000 monthly allowance being received by their students is pursuant to the city’s social amelioration program (SAP) which also provides monthly cash assistance for senior citizens, solo parents and persons with disability.
