The launching is part of the month long anniversary of the Department this January.

According to Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dinky Soliman, the academe, local government units, funding agencies/organizations and the public can access the complete and reliable data of SWDAs and SPs in the DSWD web for information sharing and exchange. ### (DSWD-Social Marketing Service) 20 January 2012
