MANILA, Philippines — Social Welfare Secretary Corazo "Dinky" Soliman welcomes any investigation into the alleged anomalies in the implementation of the conditional cash transfer (CCT).
In an interview with radio network dzMM, Soliman said they have all accounted for the fund used to give to indigent families in the country which number at over 134,000 individuals.
She said they have settled the issue and clarified that the number of the Commission on Audit of 364,000 beneficiaries is incorrect.
"Sa 134,000 names po, 92 percent nakita namin 'yung tao. Nandun sa listahan at tunay na mahirap," Soliman added.
She noted DSWD's recent move to scratch out 6,000 people from the list of beneficiaries as they were not able to comply with the requirements or conditions of the CCT program, also known as the or Pantawid ng Pamilyang Pilipino Program.
Soliman said she is willing to vacate the post if President Benigno Aquino III no longer has trust and confidence in her to run the department.
