Advisory from the Government
On Allegations of Misusing DSWD Assistance for Political Campaigns
The DSWD Field Office VI strongly reaffirms its commitment to neutrality and non-partisanship in the implementation of its programs, especially during the ongoing mid-term elections.
We have strict safeguards in place to prevent any political influence over the delivery of assistance, particularly in financial aid distribution. All services follow clear guidelines based on law and official issuances. All beneficiaries are provided their needed assistance as long as they are qualified or eligible and funding is available.
We ensure that assistance is distributed fairly and transparently. These social protection programs are not political tools but vital lifelines for the most disadvantaged members of society.
DSWD FO VI remains committed to supporting vulnerable sectors regardless of political affiliation. In partnership with government and non-government stakeholders, we work to ensure aid reaches those who need it most.
As DSWDโs mission is focused on fostering inclusive growth and providing essential services to marginalized communities, with the utmost transparency and accountability. DSWD FO VI remains steadfast in its commitment to serve the people, always bearing in mind that Bawat Buhay ay Mahalaga.
