The recent outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 in the Philippines had caused a lockdown in the Luzon Island of the Philippines. In view of this, the government has enacted an emergency cash subsidy for low-income families in the country. An amount of 8,000 Philippine pesos would be received in every low-income households in the National Capital Region, while other regions would receive between 5,000 to 6,500 Philippine pesos.
