How the DSWD Prepare & Distributes Relief Goods for the Victims of Bagyong Lawin

There is indeed a lot of changes in various departments of the Executive department under the administration of Pres. Rody Duterte. The Department of Social Welfare and Development, one of department blamed by netizens during the onslaught of super typhoon Yolanda. In order not to repeat what happened during the previous admin, the DSWD prepared even before super typhoon hit Northern Philippines.



According to DSWD Secretary Judy Taguiwalo, their agency prepared a lot before Bagyong Lawin devastated most areas of Northern Luzon as they released over P1.2 billion standby funds for the calamity.

Due to the trust of most Filipinos in the administration of Pres. Duterte, hundreds of staff members and volunteers of the DSWD were busy packing boxes of goods for the relief operations at the main office of DSWD in Pasay City.

The goods which were already distributed earlier by the DSWD were placed inside boxes instead of the usual plastic bags. Each box contains 6 kg. of rice, 6 packs of 3-in-in coffee, 8 pieces of canned goods which are good for 3 days per family.

In order to speed up the process of packing, the DSWD made some changes as they were placed in assembly lines on conveyor belts manned by volunteers to ensure immediate distributions of relief goods to the victims.

According to the latest reports of various news outlets in the Philippines, a total of five thousand boxes of relief supplies from DSWD arrived in Ilocos Norte on Tuesday, only a few hours after the typhoon hit the province. The relief goods were part of the first batch of relief from the government agency.

The immediate response of DSWD and various government agencies ensured that what happened in Tacloban will never be experienced once again under the Duterte administration particularly in the aspects of late distribution of relief goods to the victims.
