House Deputy Speaker and Batangas 6th district Rep. Ralph Recto has identified the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) as the agency that has the “the lowest regular staff-to-clientele ratio in the entire bureaucracy”.
House Deputy Speaker and Batangas 6th district Rep. Ralph Recto has identified the Department of Social Welfare and Development as the agency that has the “the lowest regular staff-to-clientele ratio in the entire bureaucracy”.Figures cited by Recto in a statement said that the DSWD provides aid to about 61.6 million Filipinos considered indigent or vulnerable. This, despite the agency’s workforce of only 2,993 regular workers.
According to his calculations, the DSWD spends “4.5 centavos for every budget peso” in relation to personal compensation–a ratio lower than the Department of Education’s 81 percent, the Department of Agrarian Reform’s 49 percent, and even the national government’s 28 percent share of “personnel services cost to total budget”.
He noted that 13,252 DSWD employees were “contractuals”; 12,326 were under contracts of service; and that 878 were job order employees.
