MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has vowed to talk with local government units (LGUs) about issues hounding the distribution of the COVID-19 financial aid. ADVERTISEMENTIssues about LGUs’ distribution of the social aid, like in Lucena City in Quezon province where residents complained of the lack of physical distancing measures in sites where residents can obtain the financial grants. We are in constant coordination with them so we could expedite the process of distribution,” DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao said in a message to reporters. “We (will) discuss issues with LGUs and identify measures so we could provide aid to the beneficiaries,” she added.
