Department of Social Welfare and Development(DSWD)

Good day. May we ask to get guidance where we can get a list of the SAP Beneficiaries for Calamba, Laguna? Calling our Brgy. Barandal always ends up with them saying they don't know anything about SAP.

We have a Senior Citizen and a PWD and are both registered in Calamba, Laguna. Sana po we can see to make sure that no one has received anything under our names since wala naman pong binigay sa'min hanggang ngayon.

Thank you po.
