 In 2020, the busy streets of Makati, the financial district that never sleeps, came to
a grinding halt. The pandemic hit us head-on, and all we could do was pray and muster
up the courage to face any and all challenges that came our way.
We dealt with the loss of jobs, we handled the closure of businesses and
establishments, we had to impose travel bans and restrict the movement of our
constituents. Most of all, we dealt with an emergency situation that none of us could have
ever imagined.
Technology served as the backbone of our efficient delivery of social services. We
were able to continue classes, various government functions, as well as send updates
and information awareness through digital means. I’m proud to say that we had these
systems in place way before COVID-19 became a global health emergency.

Of course, the city could not have done it without the cooperation, participation,
and trust of our community. I would like to thank our ProudMakatizens for their belief,
trust, and faith in this administration. Through all the uncertainties, they trusted and
believed that we will be able to get through the crisis together.

I would like to give special mention to our medical and essential front-liners who
selflessly served the city over and above what was required of them. You are our heroes
and role models, and we continue to pray for your safety each and every day.
Finally, we would like to thank the private sector and the business community for
their tireless support and generosity during the height of the pandemic. Even now that
the city is on the road to recovery, your generous help and support in all of our programs
are essential in helping Makati bounce back and recover.
We have learned that preparation and constant vigilance is key in emerging from
calamities and pandemics unscathed. We have proven that resilience and faith can get us
ahead, but it is our foresight and vision for a better city that will lead us into the future.
 Greetings to all Proud Makatizens!

It is with deep pride and honor that we present to you Makati City’s 2020
Annual Report.
It has been another year of showcasing resilency and unparalleled service
amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic.
As we continue to face countless challenges head-on, the city government
has embraced a more innovative, more compassionate, and more resilient kind of
governance.
Amidst everything we continue to achieve, surpass targets, and exceed
expectations.
We in the city government are committed to continuously providing our
Makatizens with responsive, inclusive and progressive public service, with a promise
that we will only get better through the years.
 ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICE SECTOR

Indeed, the year 2020 has been really tough and challenging to all sectors in which both social
and economic repercussions need to be addressed. Hence, the need for a more effective and efficient
public governance. This pandemic actually gauged the city’s preparedness and a test of sustainability
and resilience. It also enabled the city as well as its stakeholders to work collaboratively, to innovate, and
adapt to the new normal setting.

Information and Communication Technology as a Tool

Makati City has long embraced the role of technology in
making governance more efficient for both the city government
and its constituents. Long before the COVID-19 pandemic altered
the course of daily life, Makati saw the need to create touchpoints
using Information & Communications Technology. Foremost of
these touchpoints is the Makati City Government Portal with web
address at www.makati.gov.ph. It goes beyond being a purely
informational site and provides feedback channels which are
manned by relevant personnel coming from the City Government.

Administratively, Makati makes extensive use of email as it has done ever since email capability
was achieved in the mid-90s. Working groups complement this tool with popular solutions such as Viber in
order to maintain real-time coordination with all crucial personnel. Likewise, video conferencing platforms
are present not just for internal use but for meetings with external entities as Makati is heavily involved in
several regional and global development forums.

Another innovative feat that was tested during

the year was the benefit of having the city-initiated
Makatizen card. While the card itself is a multi-purpose
instrument that bolsters the benefits and service that
each holder receives from the City Government, it is
accompanied by the Makatizen App that provides yet
another efficient channel for users to interact with the
city. This entire ecosystem proved invaluable when
the City Government distributed financial assistance
to economically affected segments of the Makati
population during the first waves of quarantines. During
that period, the tool proved efficient while upholding
the accountability and transparency demanded by the
release of public monies. For this year, a total of 99,803
Makatizen cards were already distributed.

Social Media tools have also been valuable. Makati maintains official accounts on both Facebook
and Twitter where the public can directly interact with the Mayor. Responses are typically prompt, often
with Mayor Abby herself responding to the queries.

In terms of web presence, the Makati web portal had a record-high hits of almost 40 million hits
and more than 19 million views, MyMakati Facebook had reached a total of 2,155,010 likes while its official
twitter account has already a total of 1,846,581 followers.

 Defeat COVID-19 Monitoring Information System
Makati City also launched a collaborative online application called “Defeat COVID-19 Monitoring
Information System” that was created by the information technology students of its local university, the
University of Makati. Through this user-friendly mobile app, the Makati City Epidemiology and Surveillance
Unit (CESU) can provide faster and easier health services to the Makatizens. Also, gathered data was
used to investigate and classify COVID-positive patients and suspected Makatizens so that the city can
provide appropriate action such as swab testing, transfer to isolation centers, medicine supplies, food,
and other medical assistance.

In fact, these initiatives of the City Government gained international recognition for promoting the
use of technology in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Makati earned a Bronze Award and was the
sole Philippine city to be awarded during the 4th World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization (WeGO).

Aside from information technology, Makati City still uses print publications to convey information
to Makatizens using two official newsletters, the Makati Mirror and Makati Ngayon. To raise the level of
awareness on the city’s various programs, projects, and activities, 50,000 copies each of the newsletters
were distributed monthly to various barangay offices, departments/offices, constituents, and other
stakeholders.

Dynamic Legislation
The Sangguniang Panlungsod or City Council of Makati has always been an active partner of the
Executive Branch of the City Government in the efficient delivery of basic services to the constituents.
This year, a total of 287 ordinances and 50 resolutions were enacted after conducting 56 regular sessions
and the same number of committee hearings. Following the IATF guidelines and protocols, council
sessions were held via video conferencing software application and streamed using the MyMakati
Facebook live streaming platform.

 FINANCE MANAGEMENT
SECTOR

This year 2020, the City of Makati and the rest of the nation were significantly challenged financially
due to the imposition of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) as a preventive measure to minimize
the COVID-19 outbreak. A considerable slowdown of economic activities due to the temporary closure of
all malls, amusements as well as those businesses/establishments connected to the wellness industry and
the ban on dine-in services, among others, contributed to the decrease of 4 percent in the total number
of business establishments operating in the city as compared with 2019. Furthermore, the number of new
business establishments opening in the city showed a decreasing trend with a negative rate of 18.39
percent from 2017 to 2020. On the other hand, the number of business establishments renewed showed
an increasing trend with a slight increase of 2.39 percent compared with the figure in 2019 despite the
effect of pandemic. Based on 2019 figures of new and renewed business establishments, 40,427 were
expected to renew this year (2020), but only 36,010 (89%) business permits were renewed. The difference
consisted of 3,408 non-renewals and 1,009 retired or closed businesses due to ECQ.

 Despite the pandemic, the city attained a 5% increase in over-all collection. This year, the city’s
aggregate income reached Php 19.63 billion from Php 17.81 billion in 2018 with an average growth rate
of 4.98 percent. The Business Tax and the Real Property Tax provided the highest contribution to the local
revenues at 49.36 percent and 36.15 percent, respectively. In 2019, collection from Economic Enterprise
decreased to 38%, which was caused by non-remittance of Philhealth Fees to Ospital ng Makati.

The 2020 approved budget amounted to Php 24,735,050,000.00, which increased by 6.44 percent
as compared with 2019 budget. The decrease in the allotment for Administrative Services, Education
and Culture, and Infrastructure Development, which resulted in the significant increase in the allocation
for Statutory and Contractual Obligations as well as Health and Protective Services, was due to the
realignment of budget to cover the funds needed for COVID-19 management, as well as the relief, recovery
and rehabilitation service of the City.

DEVELOPMENT SECTOR

Makati has ensured service continuity amidst economic and social disruptions brought by
the COVID-19 pandemic. Definitely, however, it has taken a significant toll on the lives of people and
is particularly detrimental to some members of vulnerable groups, most especially small and medium
enterprises. This economic upheaval has led the city to realign and innovate on its programs and services.

Despite imposed restrictions on business operations and transactions, business registration only
had a slight decrease as compared with the previous years.

Consumer Welfare and Protection

To ensure consumer welfare and protection, the city continuously implemented market price
monitoring in 10 markets and 13 talipapas, regular weighing scale registration and calibration, and
inspection/calibration of dispensing pumps in 40 gasoline stations. Besides these, the city initiated the
roving of the so-called “Makati Mart” or a mobile palengke. With this initiative that provides another

despite the challenges of the pandemic. In fact, the city’s road network is already 100 percent concreted
while its drainage improvement is also 100 percent completed including the open canal. To ensure well-
lit cityscapes and streets for walkability and safety concerns of commuters, the city has continuously
maintained and installed additional lamp poles in various streets.

Towards safety and welfare of Makati residents, visitors, and investors, the city repaired and
asphalted road, declogged drainage, repaired manhole in various barangays.

The city also continued to implement various infrastructure projects, including the construction of a
Community Complex, Sport Facilities, Warehouse and Public Market. The Mixed-Use Building located in
Guadalupe Nuevo was already completed.

Emergency Quarantine Facilities

Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, the city had already established facilities which could
facilitate response to such health emergencies. These include the Makati Friendship Suites which was
later on converted into an emergency quarantine facility especially for medical frontliners and employees
with COVID-19, the expansion and modernization of the Ospital ng Makati (OsMak) to cover and manage
such diseases, as well as the construction of various multi-purpose buildings. Additionally, Makati has
installed this year three (3) emergency quarantine facilities in Pembo Elementary School for Makati
residents confirmed positive for COVID who do not have an isolation area in their homes. An additional
emergency quarantine facility was set up at OsMak along with two (2) negative pressure tents to serve
as a step down facility for confirmed cases who already finished the 14-day quarantine period. The city
ensured that the said facilities are fully-equipped with the needed medical equipment including X-ray
machines, defibrillators, cardiac monitors, among others.

 Makati was the first city to establish Negative Pressure Tents in Metro Manila. Two (2) tents were installed in
Ospital ng Makati (OsMak). Each tent consists of six (6) intensive care units, power supply, pressure sensors
at alarm, lighting, filtration system, LCD monitors, UV/HEPA air purification, toilet and shower, decontamination
rooms, changing rooms, storage, and air-conditioning system.

Project Ark

The city also constructed swab testing stations and headquarters for the Makati City Epidemiology
Surveillance Unit (CESU) team. The Makati Coliseum was converted into a Pooled Testing Facility to
conduct mass testing to the most ‘exposed’ and ‘vulnerable’ sectors – public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers
and market vendors – through Project Ark science-based method.

Makati City piloted The Project Ark’s science-based pooled swab testing method on over 6,000 individuals at
Makati Coliseum. The individuals were from the most exposed and vulnerable sectors- drivers and vendors

Meanwhile, a temporary crematorium was installed at Makati Park and Gardens. This was made
possible through a Public-Private Partnership agreement with NewLife Techwin Inc. that provided two
crematory machines. The city has offered free cremation services to the bereaved families of deceased
COVID patients to spare them from the burden of cremation expenses.

25
 ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT SECTOR

Sustainable and Livable Environment

The City Government remains focused on its efforts to achieve a sustainable urban ecosystem
amidst COVID-19 crisis. The city continually implements various programs, projects and activities to meet
environmental quality standards regarding land, water and air management and mainstreaming climate
change adaptation and mitigation.

Improving Waste Management

Despite the suspension of the city-initiated recycling activities due to COVID-19 pandemic, the
city was able to divert wastes to more than 50 percent. Material Recovery Facilities and Systems in the
City and the Barangay level are continuously operated and long-standing IEC campaigns are embedded
in the Makatizens’ practices. As part of the city’s IEC campaign, residents were also encouraged to report
waste management concerns through the Makatizen App and were regularly informed to segregate their
waste.

26
 Zeroing in on Hazardous and Toxic Waste Management

Aside from solid waste, toxic and hazardous waste has been equally important for the city
to manage appropriately. The city’s collection of toxic and hazardous waste increased this year by 6
percent, implying increased awareness of the importance of proper treatment and disposal of such
wastes. Moreover, the city was able to collect more than 600 pieces of e-waste through the Baratilyo sa
Basura sa Barangay.

The city conducted Baratilyo sa Basura last October 9, 2020 at the Forbes Park Multi Purpose Covered Court.

Improving Water Quality

As part of the sustained efforts of the city in improving water quality, the city conducts weekly
clean-up drive in addition to celebrating the International Coastal Clean Up. The city also monitors
households with a septic tank in its pursuit to improve septic and sewerage systems that can immensely
contribute to improving water quality.

Celebrating International Coastal Clean Up

All the hard work in improving water quality paid off when the city ranked second in the regional
level in the Manila Bay Clean-up, Rehabilitation, and Preservation (MBCRP) 2020 validation assessment
in the midst of the pandemic. Last year, the City ranked first place at the regional level and second place
at the national level in the MBCRP 2019 validation assessment.

27
 Healthy Indoor Air Quality

The city‘s indoor air quality of Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 at 20.57 µg/Ncm is above the DENR’s
standard of 35 µg/Ncm. Likewise, the city passed the National Ambient Air Quality standard of 50 µg/Ncm
having 27.64 µg/Ncm at Rizal Police Station and 18.96 µg/Ncm at Comembo Police Station. In terms of
greenhouse gas emission, the computed Ghg Community-Level Inventory for 2020 (January to December
2019) data on electricity and fuel amounted to 1,951,688 tonnes of CO2e, while the Entity-level Inventory
amounted to 27,055 tonnes CO2e.

Preserving Makati City’s Urban Green Spaces

As a highly urbanized city, Makati prioritized the conservation and promotion of City’s remaining
ecological assets and biodiversity. Currently, the city maintains 14 public parks with a total area of
156,781.55 sq.m. Using Google MyMaps, a total of 57,825 trees and 417,556 ornamental plants were
geolocated and mapped in 33 barangays

PROTECTIVE SERVICES
SECTOR

Building Safe and Secure Communities

The Protective Services Sector has been at the forefront in ensuring safety and security in the
Premier City of the country. Makati has been confronted with evolving challenges during the fight against
COVID-19 pandemic. The sector has prepared expeditiously for a sustainable recovery and it entailed the
concerted efforts of the city government and its partners including national government agencies.

Crime Prevention and Control

On Crime Prevention and Control, Makati recorded an impressive decrease of 62 percent in terms
of crime volume from 10,606 cases reported in 2019 to 6,560 this year. The reduced crime rate can
be attributed to the strict implementation of the city-wide curfew and community quarantine, backed by
enhanced and sustained efforts on security patrol and high visibility. It is worth noting that the 89.53
percent Crime Solution Efficiency Rate (CSER) improved as compared with 86.85 percent last year. On
the other hand, the Crime Clearance Efficiency Rate (CCER) of 93.14 percent is lower compared with
97.60 percent in 2019.

Makati Police performs security checks around the City. OPLAN BANDILYO was conducted through Public
Address System installed in the mobile car. The activity aimed to strictly enforce the city-wide enhanced
community quarantine and curfew due to COVID-19 pandemic.

29
 Capability Equipment

Makati is the first local government unit in the country to donate high-powered Israeli firearms to
the City’s local police force. These included 100 units each of Tavor assault rifle and Galil assault rifle, and
three units of Galil sniper rifle. The city government also donated protective gear and other crime-fighting
equipment. It prioritized the modernization of the local police force’s equipment by boosting the security
capability and recognizing the need to enhance crime-fighting capability to maintain peace and order
within the city, especially during the pandemic.

Mayor Binay personally handed over the new firearms to the officers of the Makati Police Department, formalized
through a ceremonial turn-over at the Central Police Station last October 27, 2020.

Oplan Ligtas na Pamayanan

In the area of firefighting, a total of 243 fire incidents were recorded in 2020 with estimated fire
damage amounting to Php 5.07 million, but significantly lower by 47 percent from Php 9.53 million compared
with 2019 data. The decrease could be attributed to the fact that most people stay at home due to imposed
community quarantine with strict day to day observance of Oplan Ligtas na Pamayanan (OLP), wherein
firetrucks roam around reminding Makatizens of fire safety tips.

Makati City Fire Station and all 12 Substations continuously monitor their area of responsibility by doing daily
Oplan Ligtas na Pamayanan (OLP) roving, not just to avoid destructive fires but also to help in ensuring that
safety protocols of COVID-19 Pandemic are being implemented.

30
 Traffic Management Program

Meanwhile, as part of the City’s Traffic Management Program, traffic signal lights were controlled
and regularly maintained and repaired. The city also regularly monitored the traffic flow and managed
rush hour traffic congestion. Aside from this, the city in partnership with the United Transport Federation
of Makati (UTFM) and the Makati Tricycle Federation (MATRIFED) initiated stern measures to restrict
growth of traffic in the city through the implementation of traffic rules and regulations and other transport-
related matters.

It should be noted that a remarkable decrease was observed on traffic violations, with more than
half (57%) or 47,990 total violations this year compared with 2019, with a total revenue of Php 45,644,684
in fines collected from the apprehended erring drivers.

The personnel of the Public Safety Department (PSD) apprehended erring drivers due to illegal parking, out-of-
line operations, cutting trips, colorum, and illegal terminal, and for violating the tricycle ban on highways. The
PSD conducts clearing operations daily to maintain orderliness and cleanliness in the city.

To curb the use of illegal drugs, the City has intensified its anti-drunk and drugged campaign
with continuous operations including the conduct of random drug testing for Makati jeepney drivers. The
multi-agency operation was led by the Makati-PNP, Public Safety Department (PSD), Makati Anti-Drug
Abuse Council (MADAC), the Highway Patrol Group, and the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

 COVID-19 Participation in Incident Command Post

The Public Safety Department conducts Escort Provision, Security and Crowd Control during Incident Command
Post (ICP) runs such as Patient Transport, Swabbing and Contact Tracing.

Jail Management
On the other hand, the City Government through Jail Management, continuously implemented
the Inmates Welfare and Development Program which caters to the needs and rehabilitation of inmates.
Precautionary measures have been added to keep the facility COVID-19 free. The nurse on duty conducted
the RT-PCR tests on personnel and Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL), and body temperature monitoring
on personnel before their tour of duty to ensure their well-being. Inmates were provided daily consultation,
as well as health teachings, nursing interventions and appropriate medications. Screening and triaging of
newly-committed PDL were done as part of the safety protocol. Primary care such as wound dressing and
continuous health education were also conducted. In order to maintain hygiene and orderliness inside the
jail premises, daily disinfection has been conducted and policies are strictly being implemented through the
regular conduct of Oplan Greyhound Operation.

 Disaster Risk Reduction Management

Makati has experienced various challenges and limitations caused by the pandemic. Nevertheless,
the City Government remains consistent in strengthening its disaster preparedness initiatives and
intensifying the capacity of the city’s response team as well as in increasing the awareness of our
Makatizens. The Makati Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) continued its efforts
to strengthen partnership with the private sector and increase visibility in the international arena. This
was achieved through continuous and active involvement with the United Nations for Disaster Risk
Reduction (UNDRR), UNDRR Office for Northeast Asia & Global Education and Training Institute (UNDRR
ONE & GETI), and CITYNET Disaster Cluster.

This year, the MDRRMO spearheaded the conduct of Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment
System (REDAS) Training in coordination with DOST-PHIVOLCS which was attended by 15 DRRMO
personnel. The said system is a major tool that facilitates data gathering of exposed businesses, structures,
and population, and analyzes these data sets to simulate damages and losses brought about by different
forms of disaster. For the training conducted in 2020, alternative ways to conduct surveys during the
pandemic were introduced.

Early in 2020, Makati coordinated with the City of Yokohama and CITYNET Yokohama regarding
the establishment of the Makati DRRM Academy. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, an advisory meeting was
conducted virtually for the development of structural design of the project as well in the First Responder’s
Training Phase III for Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel.

The virtual Firefighting Demonstration with Citynet Yokohama and Search and Rescue Personnel of DRRMO
was conducted last March 9, 2020.

33
 Basic Fire Fighting and Life Support Skills

Through the Search and Rescue Base, Makati DRRMO facilitated eight (8) batches of the
Experiential Field Trip for around 5,000 students from public elementary schools in the first quarter of the
year. The students were provided with an overview of the DRRM concepts and learned basic fire fighting
and life support skills.

Experiential Field Trip for Elementary Students last January 2020

Assistance to other Disaster-Stricken LGUs

The Makati DRRM Office also donated various DRRM vehicle and equipment to national government
such as PNP-Makati and BFP-Makati. Moreover, it provided various types of assistance to disaster-stricken
LGUs, most recently to, Bauan, Batangas during the Taal Eruption; and Marikina, Cagayan, and Isabela
during Typhoon Ulysses.

Makati Disaster Response Vehicle Deployment.

Incident Management Team

Due to the onset of COVID-19 Pandemic from March 2020, the City activated the Incident
Management Team (IMT) for COVID-19 response composed of various city offices and departments.
A total of 606 registered volunteers were deployed in COVID-19 operations. Makati DRRM efforts were
intensified, including training of more personnel and procurement of additional vehicles and equipment.
While resource and capacity enhancement of communities to self-help in times of disaster, Go bags were
provided to thousands of public school children and residents in danger zones along the West Valley Fault.

34
 Moreover, several wellness and emergency kits were distributed to 8,232 City Hall employees,
2,116 Care Package Kits to Makati Frontliners, Kontra COVID-19 kits to 80,000 senior citizens, evacuated
families, and detailed national agency personnel, to boost their resilience and ensure uninterrupted public
service when disasters strike.

The DRRM Office shifted into emergency mode to assume various Incident Management Team (IMT) positions.

Recovery Plans and Protocols Operation Skills Training

It also formulated the COVID-19 Recovery Plan and Emerging Donning and Doffing of Personal Protective
and Re-emerging Infectious Disease (EREID) Response Equipment (PPE) for Barangay Rescuers
Protocol with approved City Ordinance No. 2020-149. and Disinfection/Sanitation.

Public Service Continuity Plan

Aside from this, the virtual training on the formulation of the Public Service Continuity Plan (PSCP)
with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) and Office of Civil Defense capacitated 135 city
employees. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) supported the development
of the PSCP in partnership with PDRF. The Development Continuity CoreTeams (DCCT) (city-government
wide) was formulated, and capabilty building for all DCCTs was likewise conducted.

 SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SECTOR
-HEALTH

Health Resiliency in the Midst of Pandemic

Quality health care services were already made accessible to every Makatizen even before the
pandemic, from primary to tertiary care “such as free natal check-up, free medicines and pallative
care to chronically-ill residents”. The Makati public health system continuously delivered essential
services in the face of the new challenges and strains to become health resilient in the midst of the
pandemic. The city government implemented various health protocols in line with the Inter-Agency Task
Force (IATF) such as frequent hand washing, wearing of face mask and face shield, social distancing,
disinfecting homes and common areas, curfew policy among others as preventive measures. Aside from
creating an Incident Command Post (ICP) as central monitoring team during the pandemic, the city also
imposed mandatory quarantine for suspected and probable COVID-19 infected individuals.

Emergency Quarantine Facilities

The Makati Friendship Suites, which used to be a hotel, was converted into an isolation facility
that can tend to 100 patients. Also, 3 three emergency quarantine facilities at Pembo Elementary School
and one at the parking lot of Ospital ng Makati were built in partnership with the private sector to augment
the capacity of hospitals catering to COVID-19 patients and Persons Under Investigation (PUIs). Two
negative pressure tents equipped with 6 six intensive care unit beds for COVID patients were also built
at the Ospital ng Makati.

The Makati Friendship Suites in Barangay Cembo served as an isolation facility for persons under investigation
for the coronavirus disease as well as for city employees who tested positive for COVID.

Flu and Pneumonia Vaccines

Some 5,130 frontliners and essential workers were given flu and pneumonia shots by the city
government in order to boost their immune systems during the pandemic. The vaccines were also provided
to Makatizens, especially the most vulnerable sectors. The city government has also been providing free
vitamins, including Vitamin C and B-complex, to personnel who have been reporting for duty even during
the enhanced community quarantine.

Flu and Pneumonia Vaccination Project Free mass COVID-19 testing of PUIs, PUMs, and frontliners

To prevent community transmission of the virus, the city government conducted free pooled swab
testing using RT PCR test piloted to PUV drivers and market vendors since they were the most exposed
and vulnerable sector. Those who tested positive were provided with free medications, food packs and
transportation to quarantine facilities.

Telemedicine

With the increasing number of confirmed COVID-19

cases, the city government, thru Ospital ng Makati, implemented
Telemedicine, a platform maximizing technology to replace
face-to-face consultation. The hospital also coordinated with its
outsourced pharmacy for the dispensing of drugs and medicines,
and with Makati Action Center (MAC) for the delivery of
prescribed medicines and diagnostic requests. It established a
simultaneous screening procedure to identify high-risk individuals
coming to hospital. With this, only assessed symptomatic were
allowed entry inside the hospital and those asymptomatic were
advised and managed properly.

 SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT SECTOR
-SOCIAL WELFARE

Combatting the COVID-19 Pandemic

through Inclusive Social Welfare Services

In line with its commitment to achieving a self-reliant, values-oriented, and empowered populace,
the City consistently provides a complete package of social welfare benefits and services mainly to those
who belong to the vulnerable sectors. Additional interventions were also implemented to mitigate the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of Makatizens.

Economic Relief Program

Makati’s benefit cards had helped ease the financial burden of residents, especially during the
pandemic. Nearly 350,000 individuals benefited from the financial assistance amounting to P5,000 each
through Makati Economic Relief Program (MERP) which was sent electronically through their Makatizen
cards. Primary and tertiary health care benefits were accessed by 28,285 PhilHealth ng Masa Program
beneficiaries and 160,954 active yellow cardholders.

The number of women in especially difficult circumstances (WEDC) cases decreased by 49

percent compared with the previous year’s data due to the non-implementation of case management
service during the declaration of enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila and other
parts of the country. The reduced number of children in conflict with the Law (CICL) and children in
need of special protection (CNSP) cases in 2020 could be attributed to massive rescue operations
conducted in different barangays.
