DSWD probes exploitation of PWD in Pasig political video
Tempo
|April 8, 2025
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian on Monday, April 7 directed the agency to launch a fact-finding investigation into the alleged exploitation of a mentally-challenged woman who was reportedly coerced into appearing in a video with negative remarks about Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto.
"We have dispatched a fact-finding team to look into the reported malicious exploitation of a mentally-challenged person who was put on video and forced to say negative things against the incumbent mayor. And if proven true, the DSWD will take the lead in filing the case against those behind the video," Secretary Gatchalian said.
The DSWD chief explained that using persons with disabilities (PWDs) for political purposes could constitute a violation of Republic Act (RA) No. 7610, also known as the "Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act."
