DSWD explains why only one name from each family is on its list

The DSWD made clarification after Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Benhur Abalos on Friday night, April 16, called out the agency for supposedly trying to “turn the tables” on the Metro mayors and blame them for complaints regarding the purported “faulty” aid list.

“Kinakailangang tukuyin at i-validate ng LGU ang mga miyembro ng pamilya ng nasabing head of the family. Maaari nilang gamitin ang mga Social Amelioration Card forms na nasa kanilang pag-iingat ,” it added. “Muli, ang LGU ang siyang magsasapinal ng listahan ng mabibigyan ng ayuda. Nasa kanila ang diskresyon kung sinu-sino ang bibigyang-prayoridad para sa financial assistance ” the post read.

Both officials clarified that the list provided by the DSWD only served as a “reference” for the LGUs to identify the individuals who will be given aid in their respective localities.The statements made by the DSWD officials did not sit well with Abalos, describing them on Friday night, April 16, as “very unfair”.
