For the first time since his wife took office as the country’s second-highest official, lawyer Mans Carpio represented Vice President Sara Duterte in a government-led event during the 72nd anniversary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development where she called on the agency to ensure that no Filipino gets left behind as the country propels to progress.
Reading Duterte’s message, he recognized the “invaluable role” of the DSWD in its “shared task” with the national government to empower the people. “Let us, therefore, persevere in our hopes of a strong Filipino citizenry where no one gets left behind. As our nation reaches a new chapter in the pursuit of development, may you steadfastly work with us in harnessing greater solidarity and promoting good governance in the delivery of public service,” he said.
Aside from attending the agency’s anniversary, Carpio also witnessed the inauguration of the DSWD’s Multi-Purpose Building at its central office grounds and said that may it serve as an inspiration “to renew our commitment to realizing sustainable projects for community development while exemplifying genuin and compassionate service.”
“The task of paving wider paths of social growth begins with the confines of your institution and is reflected on your capacity to cultivate a healthy and productive working environment for everyone,” he said. As the country’s Education chief, the Vice President also acknowledged the DSWD’s “unwavering dedication” to projects that allow kids to access quality learning, such as its “Bata Balik Eskwela.”
