Politicized ayuda
The Philippine Star
|December 19, 2024
Officials of the Department of Social Welfare and Development have clarified that politicians are not supposed to be involved in the distribution of DSWD aid programs such as the Ayuda para sa Kapos ang Kita Program or AKAP and the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations or AICS.
-
The prohibition, which applies even outside official election campaign periods, is specified in guidelines to DSWD personnel, the officials said.
Most people will be surprised that there is such a prohibition, especially with Congress now dealing with controversy over the appropriation of P26 billion for AKAP projects of lawmakers in 2025.
As announced by the chair of the Senate finance committee, Grace Poe, P21 billion is allocated for members of the House of Representatives and P5 billion for senators.
