'We want to catch them. We want to file a case against them,' DSWD Assistant Secretary Romel Lopez.

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Social Welfare and Development said it would go after those who post disinformation online, or who send text messaging scams, deceiving unsuspecting senior citizens.

“That’s why we’re warning them, we’ve been coordinating with other agencies such as the PNP, NBI and DICT to come up with a plan to counter this. And of course, to pinpoint those responsible for this modus operandi,” he added. “We want to catch them. We want to file a case against them. So that we stop the proliferation of these kinds of activities,” the DSWD spokesperson said.

The current social pension program is administered by the DSWD regional offices that gives indigent senior citizens an allowance of P500 a month, paid out at P3,000 twice a year.
