'Walang Gutom' program focuses on human capital, not temporary 'ayuda' — DSWD
Manila Bulletin
|August 22, 2025
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) clarified that its “Walang Gutom Program” (WGP) is a long-term initiative to combat hunger and malnutrition by investing in human capital, not just a typical cash aid or “ayuda” program.
WGP is a targeted response to involuntary hunger, aiming to instill healthy eating habits and self-reliance among low-income Filipino households.
“I want to emphasize na itong programa na ito ay hindi isang ayuda program dahil tayo po ay nag-iimpose ng conditions (I want to emphasize that this program is not an aid or ayuda program because we impose conditions),” DSWD Assistant Secretary for Innovations and Program Development Baldr Bringas said in a statement on Thursday, Aug. 21.
