The Department of Social Welfare and Development has started rescuing Indigenous Peoples who ended up begging in Metro Manila streets.DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo said the rescue operations for Aetas and Badjaos started on Nov. 18, 2022. In a statement issued on Sunday, Tulfo said that 100 Badjaos from Mindanao were plucked off the streets. He said these IPs will be sent back to their provinces and the government will provide them with livelihood.
Each rescued IP family will be given P10,000 which they can use to begin a small business when they get back home. Food packs as well as hygiene kits will also be given to the families. Tulfo gave assurances that the government will help members of indigenous tribes not only during the Christmas season but throughout the year so that they will not keep going back to cities to beg. The DSWD said it will also rescue street children in coordination with local government units.
