The newly sworn-in Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Rex Gatchalian said that one of his plans is to fight hunger, seeing it as one of the most immediate, solvable problems in the country. | JMangaluzINQ
In a press briefing on Friday, Gatchalian, only three days since beginning his term, said that while fighting poverty is the end goal, fighting hunger is more feasible in a shorter amount of time.“Labanan natin ang kagutuman.
Alam ko mandato natin, labanan ang kahirapan, at gagawin at gagawin natin iyon. Pero alam naman natin na ang kahirapan at ang pagsugpo sa kahirapan is a long term endeavour. Hindi natin yan kaya gawin sa isang gabi, sa dalawang gabi, minsan nga, intergenerational ang kahirapan, pero palagay ko, mas kaya natin gawin, labanan ang kagutuman,” said Gatchalian.
