Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) spokesperson Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao responds to questions from the media on the agency’s poverty alleviation and anti-hunger initiatives during the Press Briefing held at Malacañang on Monday (April 14).

While recognizing the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey results on hunger and poverty, Asst. Secretary Dumlao asserts that the Government is on track in achieving its goal of having a single digit poverty incidence by 2028.

The DSWD spokesperson said the Agency continues to intensify its programs like the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and Walang Gutom Program (WGP) that both contribute in alleviating poverty and in achieving a hunger-free Philippines. (Photo courtesy of RTVM)
