This is 44% of the 951,459 target beneficiaries who will receive the emergency subsidy in Davao Region.
Of the 48 local government units, only the municipalities of Sulop in Davao del Sur and Tarragona in Davao Oriental have accomplished 100% payout to 4,339 and 1,710 non-4Ps beneficiaries respectively.
