00:00DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian said that no one is choosing their actions when it comes to giving assistance.
00:08And in front of the upcoming election season,
00:11his agency will not use their policies.
00:17Daniel Manalastas is in the center of the news.
00:22As one of the pioneers in helping Filipinos,
00:26especially those in need,
00:28DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian was one of those who was encouraged.
00:32Sir, what will be the policy of DSWD in helping AIDS and others?
00:37All those in need will be helped. It's as simple as that.
00:41All those in need will be helped.
00:43And as our social workers said, those who are qualified will be helped.
00:46That's why I keep repeating, as we speak right now,
00:48you can mystery shop me.
00:50Go there, bring a client.
00:52All of our responsibilities will be fulfilled until you help.
00:55According to Kalihim, even if there is no referral from lawmakers, they will still help.
01:00And now, the 2025 election is approaching.
01:03According to Kalihim, they will follow the instructions given by Comelec.
01:09And if he agrees,
01:10DSWD will not use any policy.
01:13We will not allow our career social workers to erase their licenses.
01:18Remember, these people are licensed.
01:20In the budget hearing of DSWD in the Senate,
01:23Senator Aimee Marcos stated that she did not receive any referral or request from the Office of the Vice President.
01:31Kalihim replied.
01:33If it's from the OVP, we will not give it.
01:38Madam Chair, I will say all of it.
01:41First, DSWD will not temporarily use the funds of DSWD for the people.
01:46We agree with that.
01:47Number two, as we speak right now, all of our responsibilities are open.
01:51Every day, there are people approaching and our social workers are assessing them every day.
01:55If Director Norman, he will gladly give the exchange of text messages.
02:01Because we asked him what the issue is so that we know what to look at.
02:05In fact, he said that he doesn't know because all of our referrals, we are accepting them wholeheartedly.
02:12According to Gatchalian, they have confidence.
02:15We will submit to the committee in exchange of messages between our office and the constituent services, Director Norman.
02:22We will just let them know if we can screenshot.
02:24Basically, in that thread, he said that he will thank them for the referrals that he accommodated.
02:29Sir, they are the current OVP?
02:31Yes, Director Norman and our community engagement asset.
02:37So it's not true, sir, that DSWD has refused the request of the OVP?
02:41No, we did not refuse.
02:43That's why we clarified what the issue is so that we know what it really is.
02:47But according to us, all of the referrals were accepted.
02:51As of now, there are some documents that are being submitted to the DSWD before their budget is finalized.
