00:00The Department of Social Welfare and Development assured that only beneficiaries who are entitled to receive assistance from their agencies
00:10and not just any politicians.
00:13According to DASWD Assistant Secretary Arvind Omlao,
00:17the process for beneficiaries, particularly assistance for the Kapos Angkita or ACA Program, is going smoothly.
00:26Just last week, DASWD and DOLE and NEDA worked together to draft the guidelines
00:35that will be used to implement the program in the next Conditional Implementation in the National Budget for this year.
00:44Omlao explained that they will also use their existing processes
00:50such as the assessment of their social workers, validation, vetting process, and others
00:57that they will also use in their other programs such as ICCS,
01:01in the amount of Php 2,000 to Php 10,000 for financial assistance to be received
01:06that will still depend on the assessment of social workers
01:10using the information provided by the beneficiaries.
01:15The assessment of the beneficiaries of the programs and services of DASWD
01:21is based on the guidelines that we have set and we are sure that the process will go smoothly.
01:31Through these processes that I mentioned,
01:35we will show that only DASWD is leading in the implementation of the program
01:40and that no one is the target.
01:43No politician is the target of the beneficiaries of this program.
