Financial assistance payouts under the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol face a temporary halt beginning Friday, Sept. 18.

​The move complies with Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Resolution No. 11191, which regulates public fund disbursements ahead of the November 2, 2026 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE).

​While cash distributions are suspended, the Office of the Provincial Social Welfare and Development (OPSWDO) will continue accepting and processing walk-in client documents during this period.

​Disbursements will resume once the election ban is lifted or upon official directives concerning any potential postponement of the electoral exercise.IMT
