DSWD PRESS RELEASE: DSWD leads Walang Gutom Program; LGUs may assist
An official of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) clarified on Saturday (November 16) that the DSWD Walang Gutom Program (WGP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is the flagship program of the agency, not the local government units (LGUs).
“Recently, there has been some confusion with people thinking the WGP is a project of the LGUs. To clarify, while we are grateful for the assistance of the LGUs, the WGP is managed by the DSWD on a national level,” Undersecretary for Innovations Edu Punay said.
