The Ayuda para sa Kapos ang Kita Program is not pork barrel and neither are barangay officials responsible for the list of AKAP beneficiaries, Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian said on Friday.
The DSWD chief maintained that nowhere in the AKAP guidelines are barangay officials empowered to make the list of beneficiaries, who will receive the cash assistance from the agency. The DSWD chief explained that legislators and local officials can refer potential aid recipients but the agency’s social workers are the ones responsible for the vetting of the beneficiaries to make sure that they are eligible based on the AKAP guidelines.
