List of poorest families up for public scrutiny
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has called on the public to help validate its updated list of poorest families.
The DSWD will release this month the 2015 National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction, also known as the Listahanan survey.
“We need the public to participate in making sure that the final list will be accurate, complete and reliable. We advise everyone to wait for the announcement of our field offices on the start of the validation phase in their respective regions,” Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said yesterday.
The list will be posted in strategic areas such as markets, schools, churches and barangay, municipal or city halls.
The public is encouraged to appeal or notify the Listahanan area supervisor if they have questions about the list.
The DSWD has partnered with local government units and civil society groups in organizing validation committees to act on complaints and appeals about the list.
