DSWD: No referral needed for AKAP

April 02, 2025

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rex Gatchalian reiterated yesterday that no referral is needed to access the Ayuda sa Kapos Ang Kita Program (AKAP), emphasizing that only social workers are authorized to determine eligibility and the corresponding amount of assistance.

Gatchalian assured the public that measures are in place to prevent politicians from exploiting AKAP for their own agenda, particularly during the campaign period.

"The sole decision for the provision of AKAP is made by the DSWD, with requests for assistance carefully assessed by agency social workers," Gatchalian said in a statement.
