Department of Social Welfare and Development(DSWD)

Good day, DSWD!

I would like to request for the "listahan" that you use for the municipalities of Tondo, San Nicolas, Quiapo, San Miguel, Intramuros and Port Area. I assume the list you use arranges citizens by household income and by family. 

For more background, I am conducting a study on the marginalized youth and the effects of poverty on their mental development. I will need participants that satisfy certain conditions (adolescents from a low-poor household residing in Manila). 

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
