This is somewhat a good thing because in times of natural
disasters they are one of the government agencies that it is expected to be
responsive to the needs of the victims or evacuees.
In the most recent survey conducted by the survey firm Pulse
Asia,
The survey which was conducted from December 3 to 8, 2019 showed that the
agency received an 85 percent approval rating for its performance.

The Pulse Asia said DSWD, along with the Department of
Education (DepEd), were recognized as “top performers among all government
agencies included in the survey”.
In a statement
issued by the DSWD, the high approval rate can be attributed to the agency’s prompt
and compassionate delivery of its social protection programs.
This also means that the programs and
services of the Department have a trickle-down effect and are being felt,
especially by those at the grassroots level.
It might be highlighted that among DSWD’s program includes the
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Social Pension for Indigent Senior
Citizens, and the Unconditional Cash Transfer Program contributed to the
reduction of poverty incidence from 23.3 percent in 2015 to 16.6 percent in
2018.
Recognizing the performance of DSWD in
delivering social protection programs that contribute to the reduction of
poverty is an affirmation that its efforts to improve the lives of the poor,
marginalized and vulnerable Filipinos are gaining traction, the statement
reads.
Improving the well-being of poor families
is among DSWD’s thrusts and priorities for this year which are consistent with
the Philippine Development Plan and which support the priority agenda of the
administration of reducing poverty and empowering the poor and vulnerable sectors.
