THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has stared integrating the P20-per-kilo rice program into the government’s flagship anti-hunger
Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian during a press briefing hosted by the Presidential Communications Office on June 3, 2025. THE Department of Social Welfare and Development has stared integrating the P20-per-kilo rice program into the government’s flagship anti-hunger initiative dubbed “Walang Gutom,” Secretary Rex Gatchalian confirmed Tuesday.
Gatchalian said he met Monday afternoon with Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual and Agriculture Secretary Francisco Laurel Jr. to finalize the integration of the P20/kilo rice into the food credit system used by Walang Gutom beneficiaries. The Walang Gutom program provides electronic food vouchers to identified food-poor households, allowing them to redeem basic goods from designated outlets.
The rice allocation will support the DSWD’s disaster response and feeding programs for vulnerable communities across the country.
