President names Gatchalian as new DSWD head READ MORE:
Gatchalian, who took his oath of office at the Palace yesterday hours after Mr. Marcos graced the 72nd founding anniversary of the DSWD, succeeded former journalist Erwin Tulfo.
“I just took my oath as head of DSWD. Mr. President, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be able to serve the country in a much larger capacity,” Gatchalian said on Twitter as he assured his constituents in Valenzuela it will be “business as usual” and that “a caretaker will be appointed by the House of Representatives in the coming days.”
“Continue calibrating the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and strengthening the government’s social protection initiatives, especially since one of the measures we undertake to address poverty is through the grants that we provide for the health needs of every household and education of our children,” Marcos said in his speech during the DSWD’s anniversary program.
Punay said with at least 200,000 beneficiaries removed from the 4Ps list last year, a total of 700,000 slots will be opened this year.
