Coordination with LGUs, online registration, no walk-ins. Will the DSWD learn its lesson this time after a messy first round of education aid distribution?
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Social Welfare and Development has drawn flak for its disastrous distribution of financial assistance for education, with thousands of underprivileged Filipinos crowding outside the agency’s central and regional offices on Saturday, August 20, to get aid.
“Our regional directors and satellite office heads will choose a venue and make the suggestion to the mayor, such as a basketball court, for example. The mayor can also suggest a venue,” Tulfo said.“Quezon City is a big city; we may set up four payout centers,” Tulfo added. “Some are also suggesting that the rollout be divided per district.”
“Wait for our text confirmation for the schedule and processing of your assistance,” DSWD wrote on Facebook.
