The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) welcomed the results of the latest Tangere survey which recognized Secretary Rex Gatchalian as the top-performing Cabinet member under the Marcos administration, with a 59.92 percent satisfaction rating.

“This achievement reflects the hard work of the entire DSWD workforce to deliver timely and necessary programs and services, with extra love and extra care, for the marginalized and disadvantaged Filipinos,” Asst. Secretary Dumlao pointed out.

According to the agency spokesperson, the DSWD, under Secretary Gatchalian’s leadership, has prioritized swift and compassionate service, particularly for the most vulnerable sectors of society.
