Lacson questions seemingly identical DSWD programs for the poor

According to Senator Imee Marcos, DSWD's budget sponsor, 54 percent of the agency's proposed P203.4 budget in 2022 goes to Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program .

Lacson pointed out that many of the 16 pro-poor programs from the DSWD are similar to that of National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict , which suffered budget cuts next year. “The SLP is the one that met some controversies… kasi maliwanag po yung Sustainable Livelihood at saka Kalahi-CIIDS," said Marcos.

"We want to find out kung walang duplication in the goal, in the program itself, and the beneficiaries. Baka we’re wasting a lot of money, and not addressing the root cause of the problem,” he added.“Baka pareho yung target beneficiaries nito.

“Territorial. Parang yung 823 barangays nakatutok dun yung SLP... In effect, yung conflict areas… this P5.9B for SLP. They only carved out P202M para sa conflict-ridden areas,” Marcos explained.Marcos said the Senate national defense committee, which Lacson chairs, has already cut the almost P1 billion proposed Pamana Peace and Development Fund by half or P500,000.She also expressed her concern about the newly-introduced Pamana-DSWD-LGU-led livelihood program which bears P418.

She played volleyball for the UP Lady Maroons team that won the 1983 UAAP title. She has also played for the national women's volleyball team. Cayetano is also a runner, cyclist, and triathlete. 😎 wala kasi silang remedial or special program for that Sorry, blaming this on online learning is missing the point.
