Department of Social Welfare and Development(DSWD)

Good day!

I would like to request the lists of appoved sap beneficiaries here in Barangay Mapagong, Calamba City, Laguna.

Since our Barangay Officials did'nt post the lists of approved sap beneficiaries inline with DILG sec. Eduardo Año's directive, I would like to request the lists to check the transparency of our barangay officials, in their conduct in times of covid-19 and to validate if the the families on the lists are qualified and to scrutinize that the public fund was spent and given to the right families. In our part, this will be helpful to LGU if we validate and check the lists.
