In an era where digital tools are central to basic education, internet connectivity is no longer a luxury—it is an absolute necessity. To bridge the digital divide and support digital-assisted education, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Pasig City continues its commitment to public education through the official Pasig City Internet Allowance (Communication Assistance Allowance).

Whether you are a parent managing your child’s school needs or a teacher delivering daily lessons, understanding how this financial assistance program works, who qualifies, and how distribution is conducted will ensure a smooth payout process on your designated schedule.



What is the Pasig Internet Allowance?

The Pasig City Internet Allowance is a local government grant designed to help cover connectivity costs for public school beneficiaries. The details of the subsidy include:

  • Grant Amount: ₱1,500 per eligible beneficiary.

  • Frequency: One-time disbursement per school year (subject to LGU budgeting and DepEd guidelines).

  • Funding Source: Local Government Unit (LGU) of Pasig City.

  • Primary Objective: Assist students and educators in covering mobile data, home broadband, or learning-related expenses.


Who is Eligible to Receive the Allowance?

Eligibility for the ₱1,500 internet subsidy is automatic based on official Department of Education (DepEd) school records, meaning families do not need to fill out individual application forms at City Hall. The target coverage includes:

  • Officially Enrolled K to 12 Public School Students: Covers Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High School (JHS), and Senior High School (SHS) students registered under Pasig City public schools.

  • Pasig City Special Children Education Institute (SCEI) Students: Enrollees in specialized public educational programs within the city.

  • Public School Teaching Personnel: Active teachers and faculty members assigned to public schools in Pasig City.

How Distribution Works & Payout Schedules

To maintain public safety, order, and crowd control across schools, the Pasig City government follows a school-level distribution scheme:

Important Notice on Distribution Schedules:

  • Specific payout schedules, cluster groupings, and venue details are not posted publicly on the Pasig City Public Information Office (PIO) Facebook page. This is deliberately done to prevent overcrowding at venues. Instead, official schedules are communicated directly by class advisers and school principals via official class group chats and school advisories.



Distribution Rules by Grade Level:

  • Kindergarten to Grade 6 & SCEI: The allowance must be claimed by the parent or registered legal guardian. Minors in these grade levels cannot claim the cash directly.

  • Grades 7 to 12: High school students are allowed to claim the allowance themselves, provided they present their valid School ID or official DepEd Learner Reference Number (LRN) documentation.
