Your request

You requested information on the following: (1) DSWD-SAP Beneficiary from Barangay Bocacliw, Aguilar, Pangasinan; or (2) the DSWD CENSUS from 2015 in the said Barangay to ensure that the Barangay Captain is not doing any anomaly.

Response to your request

Unfortunately, this is not a valid Freedom of Information (FOI) Request. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request.

For (1): 

However, you may contact the DSWD Social Amelioration Program Hotline Numbers at telephone  number 16545 or by cellular phones through texting/calling 09474822864 (Smart), 09162471194 (Globe) or 09329333251 (Sun) or by e-mail at [email protected] to inquire about your concerns and/or report irregularities about the Social Amelioration Program brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As to the publication of names, the Department of Interior and Local Government has already ordered each barangay to publish the SAP beneficiaries. Thus, you could inquire at your barangay regarding this matter.

Further, if you have complaints against certain barangay officials, since they are under the direct supervision of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), you may also wish to direct your concern to the DILG by submitting a request to them via this portal.
