DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo Wants Re-Checking of Beneficiaries of 4Ps, Other Assistance Programs

DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo wants to re-check the list of the beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).

The six-year term of the new administration has officially started. One of the Cabinet members of President Bongbong Marcos is veteran broadcaster Erwin Tulfo, now the head of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Tulfo’s brother, Raffy, is also part of the government now following his victory in the 2022 Senatorial Elections. Prior to his senatorial bid, Raffy ran a program on YouTube which focused on helping address problems between two (2) people or two (2) parties.

DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo is now on his first week of leading the social welfare department. Prior to assuming office, he expressed his desire to push for an increase in the monthly pension of the senior citizens.

Tulfo stressed that the P500.00 that indigent senior citizens receive every month is not enough for their needs. He wants indigent senior citizens to be given P1,500.00 monthly.

Recently, DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo also expressed his intent to have the list of the beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or more commonly known as 4Ps re-checked. According to the social welfare secretary, he wants to make sure that those who are receiving the help are those who really need it.

Tulfo also wants the same thing in other cash assistance programs of the DSWD. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, he confirmed the giving of P500.00 cash assistance for the poor Filipinos. He also wants to speed up the distribution of financial aid to the people. He stressed that there are unnecessary requirements that are sometimes asked before a person gets the help he or she needs and he wants to address it.
