Department of Social Welfare and Development(DSWD)

Hi. I would like to humbly request a copy of Beneficiaries of Social Pension for Senior Citizens in Dasol, Pagasinan. I would only need the names and no any other pertinent information as it would possibly breach the basic right to privacy listed in the constitution of the Philippines. I hope that you can grant this request for sole purpose of studying the effectiveness of the local office of social welfare.
