A leader of the House of Representatives urged the Department of Social Welfare and Development last Sunday to integrate a proposed food stamps program with the efforts of the Department of Agriculture .
The lawmaker is commenting on the food stamp program proposed by the DSWD, which has so far met some opposition from economic managers due to costs. Salceda explained that the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, which introduced sweetened beverage taxes, earmarks around 30 percent of its revenues to social measures, including, very specifically, social mitigating measures and investments in education, health, targeted nutrition and anti-hunger programs for mothers, infants and young children.
