Video: Pres. Marcos Jr. wants DSWD aid program expansion – SONA 2022

In his first State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said that he wants the Department of Social Welfare and Development to expand its programs to help those in need. One of these is the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps), which will be cleaned up so more people can receive support. This is good news for our underserved kababayans who are greatly affected by the pandemic.

By cleaning up the list of 4Ps, the government intends to update its records and ensure that only qualified beneficiaries are included in the list. This will help them provide better assistance to those who need it most. The President also said that he wants DSWD officials to be more responsive to complaints from their constituents and for them to work harder on improving services so that Filipinos can get what they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please check out these common questions and FAQs about the DSWD agency:

1. Who are the partners of DSWD agency?

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is partnered with various agencies that provide services to the poor, including:

  • Department of Health (DOH)

  • Office of Local Government (OLG)

  • Philippine National Police (PNP)

  • Local Government Units (LGUs)

So should you have any social services or welfare assistance needs or queries, these agencies will direct you to the right office. Otherwise, you can also ask if they have any programs related to the DSWD you can benefit from.

2. How can I sign up for one of their programs?

DSWD’s website is the easiest and fastest way to sign up for its various programs. In addition, some of its offices provide sign-ups in person. Before visiting an office, make sure that you thoroughly check the website of the agency.

While in-person sign-up is possible, this is not usually advised as it can be quite time-consuming. Applicants are encouraged to sign up online first, then visit the local office if they need assistance with their application.

3. Where can I go if I need help?

If you need help with any of the various social welfare programs in the Philippines, you can call the DSWD’s emergency hotline at (911) or visit their website at www.dswd.gov.ph. Most LGUs or regions have a local social welfare office where you can go for assistance. You can also visit the DSWD website to find the nearest office in your area.

4. Are there other government agencies that also advance social welfare and development? If so, which ones?

Aside from the government, various agencies in the Philippines provide support to the people of the country. For instance, the Department of Education provides free education to all students enrolled in public schools. The Department of Health also provides low-income individuals with free medical care in government hospitals. Two of the country’s government institutions are known to provide assistance to senior citizens. These are the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office and the National Council on Senior Citizens.

To learn more about the various programs offered by the other government departments, you may visit their respective websites.

5. What is the amount of DSWD cash assistance?

For the selected beneficiaries, this program provides them with financial assistance through a cash payment of Php 3,000 or three thousand pesos only. This will help them meet their basic needs and provide them with some financial stability.

As expected, the cash assistance cannot provide for an entire family’s daily sustenance. Instead, it aims to augment the beneficiaries’ income so that they can effectively support themselves and their families.

6. How do I access SAP DSWD through the internet?

SAP users can perform self-registration through the website ReliefAgad website (https://dctx.ph/reliefagad). They can access the application through either a desktop or mobile browser. To register, go to the website’s registration page and start the process.

Do be aware, however, that successful registration does not automatically guarantee the approval of a cash grant. DSWD will need to check your data against other programs, such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps, Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers or TUPAD etc.) in order to ensure that you do not receive duplicate benefits.

Those who have already received cash assistance from the DSWD will not be eligible for more.

NOTE: The ReliefAgad mobile application is only available to people who have been issued a Social Amelioration Card (SAC).

7. Who is eligible for financial support from the DSWD?

The DSWD Listahanan defines poor, vulnerable, and disadvantaged individuals and families in the informal sector as individuals or groups who are either in crisis or have been identified as such by a social worker.

8. Who is considered indigent in the Philippines?

Those residing in Metro Manila and other areas of the Philippines with families income that does not exceed P14,000 a month are considered residents of this country.
