00:00Nanawagan si DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian ng Dagdag Pondo para sa kanilang Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation o AICS Program.
00:10Iyan ang ulit ni Melales Morax.
00:13Sa deliberasyon ng House Committee on Appropriations ukol sa panukalang pondo ng Department of Social Welfare and Development para sa susunod na taon,
00:23nanawagan si DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian ng Dagdag Pondo para sa kanilang Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation o AICS Program.
00:32Ayon sa kalihim, bumaba kasi ang alokasyon ng AICS sa ilalim ng 2026 National Expenditure Program na nasabay pa sa zero funding ng ayuda para sa Kaposang Kita Program o ACAP.
00:44Dahil dito, nasa 50 bilyong piso ang mawawala sa kagawaran.
00:49We're looking at around 7 million individuals who may not be able to help receive social welfare in their crisis situation.
01:00Sana ho ma-reconsider ng ating mababang kapulungan yung dilema ng Departamento.
01:06Tiniyak naman ang mga kongresista na pag-aaralan nila ito.
01:10Para sa 2026, igit 223.2 billion pesos ang kabuang budget proposal ng DSWD.
01:17Sabi ni Secretary Gatchalian, kabilang pa rin sa mga pangunahin nilang programa na pagkagaminta nito ang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program of Four Peace,
01:25Sustainable Livelihood Program, Walang Gutom Program at Quick Response Fund na karaniwang ginagami tuwing may kalamidad o sakuna.
01:34The President wanted Mr. Chair to make sure na omnipresent ang DSWD.
01:38Hindi pa ho tumatama yung kalamidad, dapat nandun na ho kami.
01:41Para naman sa pinaigting na servisyo ng DSWD, tiniyak ng kagawaran na patuloy ang kanilang mga hakbang para sa digitalization.
01:49Sa katunayan, marami sa kanilang programa, moderno na ang sistema.
01:54New programs like Walang Gutom is no longer manual.
01:58They have electronic benefit cards where the food credits are loaded.
02:01Mr. Chair, we've also embarked on using e-wallets for our four-piece beneficiaries through the e-Panalo Program, working with GCash and Globe.
02:08Para naman mapalawak pa ang kanilang manpower, maglulunsa din ang kagawaran ng DSWD Academy bago magtapos ang taon.
02:17We are coming up with the DSWD Academy. It's a facility in Taguig that's about to open the end of the year.
02:23It's part of our capacity building.
02:26So one of the things that we want to push is kung walang social worker, we will now start working with social welfare assistants.
02:32So what we had in mind was to empower them na pag nag-train sila sa academy namin, yung signature nila should be accepted for certain issues.
