Lacson Scores Inaction, Cover-Up Try on P1-M Payroll Corruption at DSWD-Region 11

It’s been more than a year. Why is there still no action on it?

Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson thus questioned the lack of progress in a payroll row at the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Region 11, where P1 million in employees’ travel allowance (TEV) was allegedly diverted to the account of an administrative assistant, and an official tried to cover up the mess.

“We should not wait for the other cases. This is pretty solid. There were victims. By now, one year later, dapat nasa Ombudsman na siguro ito. Kung now wala pang progress, we cannot expect any more action on this matter (We should not wait for other cases. This is pretty solid. There were victims. But it’s been one year, the case should have been before the Ombudsman. But up to now there seems to be no progress. We cannot expect any more action on this matter),” Lacson said at the deliberation on the 2022 budget of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

Lacson Pushes ‘Reinvented’ 4Ps to Ensure Sustainable Livelihood

From merely doling out cash to providing sustainable livelihood and employment opportunities.

This is the reinvention of social welfare programs such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) that Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson envisions under his administration, should he win the presidential election in 2022.

“We must invest in our human capital. It is high time that we reinvent the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) with the overarching principle that every Filipino should bridge the poverty line with a sustainable livelihood or employment opportunities,” Lacson said before the Rotary Club of Manila.

Ping sa DSWD: Mas Bigyang Kapasidad ang Mga Mahihirap na Bayan

Hinimok ni Senador Ping Lacson nitong Lunes ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) na gawing prayoridad ang mga mahihirap na bayan – o mga fifth- at sixth-class municipalities – sa kanilang Technical Assistance and Resource Augmentation (TARA) program.

Para kay Lacson, makakatulong ito para masiguro na nagagamit nang maayos ng DSWD ang pondo para sa programang TARA at talagang nakikinabang dito ang mga lokal na pamahalaan na kailangan ng tulong.

“One criterion na naisip ko, i-prioritize siguro fifth and sixth-class municipalities kesa first class municipalities, kasi hindi na siguro kailangan, technically capacitated na sila,” ani Lacson sa pagdinig ng Senado sa badyet ng DSWD para sa 2022.

Lacson to DSWD: Prioritize Capacitating of 5th, 6th-Class Towns

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson on Monday urged the Department of Social Welfare and Development to prioritize fifth- and sixth-class municipalities in its Technical Assistance and Resource Augmentation (TARA) program.

Lacson said this would help ensure that the DSWD is able to maximize its funds for the program while benefiting the local government units that need assistance most.

“One criterion na naisip ko, i-prioritize siguro fifth- and sixth-class municipalities kesa first-class municipalities, kasi hindi na siguro kailangan, technically capacitated na sila (One criterion I can think of is to prioritize assistance to the fifth and sixth-class municipalities. First-class municipalities likely do not need the assistance as much as they are already technically capacitated),” he said at the Senate hearing on the DSWD’s budget for 2022.
