The Office of the Vice President reiterated that application forms for social services are not for sale.

The OVP has been receiving reports from several individuals on the sale of public assistance application forms which are used to document client profiles applying for Medical and Burial Assistance Program (MABP).

Medical and burial assistance are among the social services implemented by the OVP, and these have been the most requested aid of marginalized Filipinos.

As of December 2, the assistance program has already benefited 19,910 indigent Filipinos with aid amounting of P179,591,068.67.

Aside from the OVP Central Office in Mandaluyong, medical and burial assistance is also given in the seven OVP Satellite Offices across the country.

The OVP also emphasised that the free public assistance application forms are available in the central and satellite offices and should solely be used by the clients requesting for such services.
