#DSWD SAP

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has released an initial list of PUV drivers eligible to receive the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) from the DSWD. To compensate for the loss of livelihood, the DSWD, in partnership with the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), and Landbank of the Philippines will be giving out financial aid for the affected drivers. As of writing, over 4,000 PUV drivers may claim the financial aid provided by DSWD's SAP program starting today. To check if you're eligible to receive the SAP assistance, visit the LTFRB's Google Sheet here and use the search function, or check out DOTr's PDF of names here. Bought a Sapido 3G Mobile router last year as a possible replacement for my SmartBro Share-It. But then, the local distributor met up with me early this week and showed me their whole new Sapido line-up. The device is actually small (smaller than the Apple Magic Mouse) and has a couple of LAN/WAN ports at the back as well as a switch to make the Sapido an access point (AP), a DSL router or 3G/4G/WiMax router. I have to admit though, setting up this Sapido router isn't a walk in the park.
