The Office of the Vice President (OVP) said the claims of Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian that all assistance
The Office of the Vice President said the claims of Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian that all assistance requests from the OVP were accommodated were “inaccurate and misleading.”
The OVP highlighted several issues regarding DSWD and its handling of assistance requests. For instance, a request for aid for individuals impacted by the African Swine Flu was turned down by the DSWD, which stated they couldn’t carry out “mass payouts,” despite having done so in other regions with the support of various politicians.
Additionally, clients from the OVP offices in Cebu, Bohol, and Siquijor have expressed frustration at not receiving any aid, as they continue to return to the OVP seeking support from the DSWD. Gatchalian made the remarks when asked to comment on reports that the DSWD rejected referrals for assistance from the OVP.
