DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian refutes claims that the Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) is a pork barrel fund, emphasizing that it is a financial aid program for minimum wage earners and near-poor Filipinos. He clarifies the program's selection process, stating that DSWD social workers process applications and determine the assistance amount for eligible beneficiaries. Gatchalian rejects the notion that barangay officials have any role in choosing beneficiaries, as outlined in the AKAP guidelines.

Iginiit ni Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian na hindi " pork barrel " fund ang pondo sa Kapos ang Kita Program , na nakalaan bilang ayudang pinansiyal para sa mga minimum wage earners at "near-poor" na mga Pinoy.

Ipinaliwanag niya na ang mga social worker ng DSWD ang nagpoproseso ng mga aplikasyon para sa AKAP at sila ang nagdedesisyon kung anong halaga ng tulong ang matatanggap ng mga kuwalipikadong benepisyaryo. Binigyang-diin ni Gatchalian na walang anumang probisyon sa mga alituntunin ng AKAP na nagpapahintulot sa mga opisyal ng barangay na tukuyin kung sino ang mga dapat na maging benepisyaryo sa programa.

Nilinaw pa ni Gatchalian na bagamat maaaring mag-refer ang mga mambabatas at lokal na opisyal ng pamahalaan ng mga potensyal na benepisyaryo, ang mga social worker ng DSWD pa rin ang siyang nagsusuri at maglilista kung sino ang mga tatanggap ng ayuda.
