Medical Scholarship and Return Service Program

Six million pesos is dedicated specifically for relief to indigent and deserving victims, targeting rehabilitation of homes, farms, livestock, seeds, clothing, businesses, and other welfare-essential properties.
Distribution is conducted by the Social Welfare Administration and the Secretary of Agriculture and Natural Resources or their authorized representatives.
A special committee composed of the Social Welfare Administrator (chairman), a presidential representative, and a designated Philippine National Red Cross representative oversees the allocation.
Local government consultation is mandatory within ten days of committee notification.
Priority is given to indigents and the needy.
The maximum relief amount per family is capped at two hundred pesos, delivered in cash or in kind.

Any person filing fraudulent claims or collecting amounts exceeding actual damages faces penalties:
- Fine ranging from one hundred to one thousand pesos
- Imprisonment from one month to one year
- Both fine and imprisonment at the court’s discretion
Officials knowingly facilitating fraudulent claims are subject to the same penalties.
Officials in charge of fund distribution found guilty shall face imprisonment of not less than one year or penalties as prescribed by existing law.

Eight million pesos is allocated for repair, reconstruction, or construction of flood and river control works, roads, bridges, public buildings, and other public works damaged by the disasters.
Distribution of funds is based on damage assessment by the Secretary of Public Works and Communications or authorized representatives.
Funds are released pro rata and simultaneously to affected provinces and cities.
Except for flood and river control works, the funds shall not be used for new construction but only for restoration, repair, and reconstruction.

Any unexpended or unobligated balance of the appropriated funds as of June 30, 1963, shall revert to the general fund.
