MANILA, Philippines – A day after he was sworn-in as the new head of the Department of Social Welfare and Development , Secretary Rex Gatchalian said one of his top priorities is the faster delivery of benefits and assistance.
He said in his new post he would focus on streamlining requirements for those eligible for benefits from social welfare programs and “cleaning up” the list of beneficiaries. Aside from streamlining social services, the new DSWD chief said he wanted to also clean up the list of beneficiaries of the different welfare programs.
“There are lists from the PSA, NEDA, the DSWD, we need to look at that,” he said. Gatchalian said that he would also align with the local government units in making sure the families on the list are actually qualified. Tulfo, who was praised for his time as DSWD chief by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, agreed with Gatchalian’s selection as the department’s secretary.
