OVP projects serve more than 2M Filipinos
MANILA – The Office of the Vice President has served more than two million Filipinos in a span of just more than two years.
As of August 31, 2024, the OVP was able to render various assistance to 2,027,164 individuals through the agency’s various initiatives, such as medical, burial, and relief programs. Of the said figures, more than 1.5 million or around 67 percent of the agency’s beneficiaries were given assistance through the OVP’s 10 satellite offices and two extension offices across the country.
The satellite and extension offices are strategically located in different areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao for accessibility of medical and burial assistance and other social services offered by the OVP.
The said mechanism aims to bring closer the assistance of OVP to indigent, marginalized, and underserved communities since the areas identified were based on accessibility, volume of traffic, mode of transportation, presence of hospitals, and high people traffic.
Under the proposed 2025 budget, the OVP seeks to serve around 1.4 million Filipinos across the country.
