00:00DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian said that no one is choosing their actions when it comes to giving assistance.

00:08And in front of the upcoming election season,

00:11his agency will not use their policies.

00:17Daniel Manalastas is in the center of the news.

00:22As one of the pioneers in helping Filipinos,

00:26especially those in need,

00:28DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian was one of those who was encouraged.

00:32Sir, what will be the policy of DSWD in helping AIDS and others?

00:37All those in need will be helped. It's as simple as that.

00:41All those in need will be helped.

00:43And as our social workers said, those who are qualified will be helped.

00:46That's why I keep repeating, as we speak right now,

00:48you can mystery shop me.

00:50Go there, bring a client.

00:52All of our responsibilities will be fulfilled until you help.

00:55According to Kalihim, even if there is no referral from lawmakers, they will still help.

01:00And now, the 2025 election is approaching.

01:03According to Kalihim, they will follow the instructions given by Comelec.

01:09And if he agrees,

01:10DSWD will not use any policy.

01:13We will not allow our career social workers to erase their licenses.

01:18Remember, these people are licensed.

01:20In the budget hearing of DSWD in the Senate,

01:23Senator Aimee Marcos stated that she did not receive any referral or request from the Office of the Vice President.

01:31Kalihim replied.

01:33If it's from the OVP, we will not give it.

01:38Madam Chair, I will say all of it.

01:41First, DSWD will not temporarily use the funds of DSWD for the people.

01:46We agree with that.

01:47Number two, as we speak right now, all of our responsibilities are open.

01:51Every day, there are people approaching and our social workers are assessing them every day.

01:55If Director Norman, he will gladly give the exchange of text messages.

02:01Because we asked him what the issue is so that we know what to look at.

02:05In fact, he said that he doesn't know because all of our referrals, we are accepting them wholeheartedly.

02:12According to Gatchalian, they have confidence.

02:15We will submit to the committee in exchange of messages between our office and the constituent services, Director Norman.

02:22We will just let them know if we can screenshot.

02:24Basically, in that thread, he said that he will thank them for the referrals that he accommodated.

02:29Sir, they are the current OVP?

02:31Yes, Director Norman and our community engagement asset.

02:37So it's not true, sir, that DSWD has refused the request of the OVP?

02:41No, we did not refuse.

02:43That's why we clarified what the issue is so that we know what it really is.

02:47But according to us, all of the referrals were accepted.

02:51As of now, there are some documents that are being submitted to the DSWD before their budget is finalized.
