The DSWD said it would check its warehouse, which state auditors flagged for having 'rodents and cockroaches.'
MANILA — The Department of Social Welfare and Development on Thursday said it would check its warehouse, which state auditors flagged for having "rodents and cockroaches."
Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian ordered field office chief Michael Joseph Lorico to physically inspect the warehouse and check the condition of relief goods.“The words ‘state of disrepair’ and ‘lack of cleanliness and organization’ are not acceptable to the DSWD’s manual of housing relief items in any of our warehouses or facilities,” DSWD spokesperson and Assistant Secretary Romel Lopez said.
Gatchalin also ordered DSWD personnel to sort out all relief supplies to ensure that no outdated items would be distributed to areas hit by disasters.
