DSWD-7 beneficiaries told to use national ID
The Freeman
|September 25, 2025
The Department of Social Welfare and Development in Central Visayas (DSWD-7) is urging the public to present their Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)-issued PhilSys National ID when availing of assistance programs, including the Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) and the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS).
To guide the implementation of AKAP, the DSWD, Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev) issued Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2025-01.
The directive requires clients seeking another round of AKAP support to register with the PSA or at DSWD-PSA co-location centers to secure a national ID, either physical or electronic.

Contractors should treat their workers fairly
To be fair, not all contractors are guilty of ghost public works projects or rampant violators of labor laws. But in my own research as professor of labor laws for more than four decades in a number of law schools and universities, I can testify that many contractors are notorious exploiters of labor.
