CEBU CITY, Philippines -- Cebu City councilors expressed concerns on the report that many of the barangays were bypassed during the distribution of financial assistance to Persons With Disabilities
CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City councilors expressed concerns on the report that many of the barangays were bypassed during the distribution of financial assistance to Persons With Disabilities on Saturday, August 15, 2020.
The councilor said the Department of Social Welfare and Services lied in the session when they said the distribution would be coursed through the barangay, which was not what happened when the distribution day came. Councilor Nestor Archival said that the barangays should be empowered as they were the elected officials of their villages and they have been working hard throughout the pandemic.
The distribution was also successful with 90 percent completed as of August 18, 2020. Only 1,300 are left to receive the PWD financial assistance.Abangan said the disbursing officers are tasked to contact the barangay they are assigned to, and this is probably where the confusion took place as some DOs contacted the MILO instead.
