00:00DSWD responded to the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte

00:05that her office is politically endorsing those who are asking for help.

00:10This is the program for those who are asking for medical care, shelter, and other assistance.

00:16Tina Panganiban-Perez has the story.

00:21Special mention yesterday by Vice President Sara Duterte

00:25is the I-X or Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations

00:29of DSWD.

00:31This is what she gave as an example of the funds that are being politically endorsed

00:36when it comes to listening to the budget of the OVP in the Senate yesterday.

00:40Most of the time, we were told that it's not allowed

00:43because it came from the office of the Vice President and it's an enemy.

00:48That's why DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchal said

00:51that they will consult with the OVP to investigate the issue.

00:56Right now, what we will do is to get in touch with her office

00:59to get the full details so that we can investigate

01:02if there is an infraction committed by our people.

01:06Based on the website of DSWD,

01:08the I-X is a social welfare service that provides medical assistance,

01:13shelter, transportation, education, food, or financial assistance

01:19for the needs of a person or family.

01:22Whether there is a referral or no referral,

01:25as long as there is a need and it meets our needs,

01:28we will help them.

01:30Earlier, DSWD faced the camera

01:34for their more than P229 billion in the next year.

01:38DSWD wrote that in the four-piece program,

01:42they have already paid P5 billion

01:45to the wrong beneficiaries removed from the list.

01:49They were looking for P150,000 more on the list

01:53but it was suddenly erased.

01:55DSWD also noted that since last year,

01:595,000 families and individuals living in the province

02:03have been helped by the Oplan Pag-abot.

02:07More than 2,500 of them have returned to their provinces

02:12with economic grants,

02:14have been reintegrated or returned to society,

02:16and have been brought to DSWD care facilities

02:20together with a former POGO hub.

02:23Because there are rooms already,

02:24because it's already organized,

02:26the Executive Secretary gave us the rights

02:29to use two floors of it.

02:31We've retrofitted it into a temporary interim shelter

02:35for our families in street situation.

02:37When asked about the National Economic Development Authority,

02:41or NEDA,

02:42that it cannot be considered food poor

02:45to spend P64 per day or P21 per meal,

02:52Gatchalian replied,

02:53The DSWD and our social workers agree

02:57that P21 is clearly not enough.

03:00That's for the record.

03:01For GMA Integrated News,

03:03Tina Panganiban Perez,

03:05for Tutok, 24 hours.
